STM topographic images show that the FGT grows as free-standing islands on Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> and outwards from Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> steps.

A moiré pattern is observed on FGT regions with a periodicity of 4.3 ± 0.4 nm that can be attributed solely to this lattice mismatch and thus indicates zero rotational misalignment. While most of the surface is covered by a single QL of the FGT, there are small double QL regions, as well as regions with distinct chemical terminations due to an incomplete QL.

However, most of the NIR fluorophores do not have therapeutic delivery capabilities, exhibit low photostabilities, and raise toxicity concerns. To address these issues, we developed and tested five types of biocompatible graphene quantum dots (GQDs) exhibiting spectrally-separated fluorescence in the NIR range of 928 – 1053 nm with NIR excitation. Their optical properties in the NIR are attributed to either rare-earth metal dopants (Ho-NGQDs, Yb-NGQDs, Nd-NGQDs) or defect-states (NGQDs, RGQDs) as verified by Hartree-Fock calculations. Moderate up to 1.34 % quantum yields of these GQDs are well-compensated by their remarkable >4-hour photostability. At the biocompatible concentrations of up to 0.5 – 2 mg/mL GQDs successfully internalize into HEK-293 cells and enable in vitro imaging in the visible and NIR. Tested all together in HEK-293 cells five GQD types enable simultaneous multiplex imaging in the NIR-I and NIR-II shown for the first time in this work for GQD platforms. Substantial photostability, spectrally-separated NIR emission, and high biocompatibility of five GQD types developed here suggest their promising potential in multianalyte testing and multiwavelength bioimaging of combination therapies.","PeriodicalId":6812,"journal":{"name":"2D Materials","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139441648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, BP has shown considerable potential in many applications, such as field-effect transistors, energy storage and conversion, and photocatalysis. However, low-dimensional BP is easily corroded by oxygen and water owing to the large specific surface area and unbonded lone pair electrons on the surface, which reduces its chemical stability in the environment. As a result, different passivation approaches, relying on noncovalent bonding, covalent functionalization, and surface coordination, are employed to enhance the stability and performance of BP. In this review, the degradation mechanisms of BP are first analyzed for the material in both its ground state and excited state. Subsequently, the promising strategies for improving stability are overviewed. A comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the oxidation mechanisms and protection strategies of BP will provide guidance for the large-scale applications of BP and its derivatives.","PeriodicalId":6812,"journal":{"name":"2D Materials","volume":"66 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate the excitation energy dependence of the valley polarization of excitons in a WSe2 monolayer. We observe that the valley polarization drastically decreases when the excitation is resonant with the B1s resonance. This behaviour can be explained by a Dexter-like coupling in the momentum space between exciton states residing in opposite valleys but with the same spin configuration. This induces a net transfer of the exciton population from the optically driven valley towards the opposite, undriven valley. We observe the long-term fingerprints of this population transfer, as a vanishing valley polarization for the neutral exciton, and a negative valley polarization for biexcitonic complexes, in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions based on a fully microscopic many-particle approach. This, together with a decrease of the PL energy when the excitation is resonant with the B1s state, points to the prominent role of the Dexter-like coupling in the exciton dynamics of atomically thin semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":6812,"journal":{"name":"2D Materials","volume":"34 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139385408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, through constructing the local photogate vertical heterostructures on 2D SnS2 surface can significantly increase its photoconductive gain. However, the potential of this photogain mechanism for SnS2 films has not yet been revealed in practical photodetection devices. To investigate its special advantages on promoting the optical-sensing activity, the high-quality SnS2 films with discrete, micro-area, and uniform rubrene-nanodots modification have been prepared. Benefit from the local interfacial photogating effect induced by hole trap states by rubrene-nanodots, the light-absorption and carrier-excitation efficiencies were significantly enhanced. Afterwards, the high-performance photodetector was designed based on the photogate vertical heterostructures of rubrene-nanodots/SnS2, which demonstrated an enhanced photoelectric response to 1064 nm light. Note that the maximum photocurrent density, photoresponsivity, and photodetectivity can reach up to 0.389 mA·cm-2, 388.71 mA·W-1, and 1.13×1010 Jones, respectively. Importantly, the optimal band-structure offsets accelerated the localized hole transfer from SnS2 film to rubrene-nanodots. The trapped holes in rubrene-nanodots induced an enhanced interface gating effect, which may help to modulate the number and lifetime of excess electrons under light illuminations.
