However, current methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or liquid‐phase exfoliation face significant challenges in simultaneously achieving high yield and low defect density in preparing layered materials, which often leads to compromises in SERS efficiency or sensitivity, thereby limiting large‐scale applications. Herein, an improved electrochemical cathodic exfoliation (ECE) protocol, developed through recent advancements, is employed to produce highly uniform and solution‐processable TiSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, NbSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, and TaSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> monolayers with over 95% yield in 120 min. The SERS sensitivity (10<jats:sup>−16</jats:sup> M for Rhodamine 6G) of 2D materials from ECE rivals that of CVD‐prepared monolayers due to their low defect density. Using NbSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> as the SERS substrate, matrix metalloproteinase‐9 in tear fluid is detected across 0.01 to 100 ng mL<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>, outperforming conventional enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay methods that typically detect at 1 ng mL<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. The scalability of the modified ECE process not only facilitates its integration into lateral flow immunoassays but also paves the way for bridging the gap between practical applications and highly sensitive SERS detection using 2D materials.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach enables to monitor real-time signal changes, gain insights into neural network dynamics by assessing stimulus-evoked signaling at specific sites, and identify signaling patterns and hippocampal synaptic connections.

However, despite their advantageous energy transfer characteristics, quasi-2D perovskites have suffered from efficiency and stability issues. During the formation of quasi-2D perovskite films, internal defects arise, and the predominant presence of lower n-phase domains in the internal phase distribution leads to susceptibility to external environmental conditions, which are crucial for stability. Here, an approach is proposed to simultaneously enhance the emission efficiency and stability of quasi-2D perovskites by introducing formamidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (FA-Triflate). FA-Triflate effectively suppresses the formation of lower n-phases, passivates intrinsic defects, and enhances humidity resistance by improving hydrophobicity. This approach increased the photoluminescence quantum yield of quasi-2D perovskite films from 52.2% to 70.4%. PeLEDs with FA-Triflate-treated quasi-2D perovskites show an improvement in external quantum efficiency from 6.4% to 16.6%, along with a device lifetime extension of over 3 000%.
