Controlled Synthesis of Ultrathin PtSe₂ Nanosheets with Thickness-Tunable Electrical and Magnetoelectrical Properties.

ABSTRACT: Thickness-dependent chemical and physical properties have gained tremendous interest since the emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Despite attractive prospects, the thickness-controlled synthesis of ultrathin nanosheets remains an outstanding challenge. Here, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) route is reported to controllably synthesize high-quality PtSe₂ nanosheets with tunable thickness and explore their thickness-dependent electronic and magnetotransport properties. Raman spectroscopic studies demonstrate all E_g , A₁ _g , A₂ _u , and E_u modes are red shift in thicker nanosheets. Electrical measurements demonstrate the 1.7 nm thick nanosheet is a semiconductor with room temperature field-effect mobility of 66 cm² V^-1 s^-1 and on/off ratio of 10⁶ . The 2.3-3.8 nm thick nanosheets show slightly gated modulation with high field-effect mobility up to 324 cm² V^-1 s^-1 at room-temperature. When the thickness is over 3.8 nm, the nanosheets show metallic behavior with conductivity and breakdown current density up to 6.8 × 10⁵ S m^-1 and 6.9 × 10⁷ A cm^-2 , respectively. Interestingly, magnetoresistance (MR) studies reveal magnetic orders exist in this intrinsically non-magnetic material system, as manifested by the thickness-dependent Kondo effect, where both metal to insulator transition and negative MR appear upon cooling. Together, these studies suggest that PtSe₂ is an intriguing system for both developing novel functional electronics and conducting fundamental 2D magnetism study.

Electrical field and biaxial strain tunable electronic properties of the PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure.

Project description:The structure and electronic properties of two-dimensional vertical van der Waals PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure have been investigated based on first-principles calculations. The results show that the PtSe2 and Hf2CO2 monolayers form a type-I heterostructure with both the conduction band minimum (CBM) and valence band maximum (VBM) located at the Hf2CO2 layer. The electronic properties of PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure can be effectively adjusted by applying external electric field or biaxial strain. The transition in band alignment from type-I to type-II can be manipulated by controlling the strength and direction of the electric field. Additionally, the transition from type-I to type-II have also taken place under the strains, and the band gap of the PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure decreases with increasing the compressive or tensible strain. Under a strong strain of -8%, the PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure can transform from semiconductor to metal. These findings provide a promising method to tune the electronic properties of PtSe2/Hf2CO2 heterostructure and design a new vdW heterostructure in the applications for electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Thickness-controlled electronic structure and thermoelectric performance of ultrathin SnS2 nanosheets.

Project description:The thermoelectric conversion efficiency of a material relies on a dimensionless parameter (ZT = S 2 σT/κ). It is a great challenge in enhancing the ZT value basically due to that the related transport factors of most of the bulk materials are inter-conditioned to each other, making it very difficult to simultaneously optimize these parameters. In this report, the negative correlation between power factor and thermal conductivity of nano-scaled SnS2 multilayers is predicted by high-level first-principle computations combined with Boltzmann transport theory. By diminishing the thickness of SnS2 nanosheet to about 3 L, the S and σ along a direction simultaneously increase whereas κ decreases, achieving a high ZT value of 1.87 at 800 K. The microscopic mechanisms for this unusual negative correlation in nano-scaled two dimensional (2D) material are elucidated and attributed to the quantum confinement effect. The results may open a way to explore the high ZT thermoelectric nano-devices for the practical thermoelectric applications.

Self-Templated Synthesis of Ultrathin Nanosheets Constructed TiO2 Hollow Spheres with High Electrochemical Properties.

Project description:TiO2 is well-known nanomaterials and mostly used as solid nanoparticles, and normal hollow spheres for photocatalysts or electrode materials. In this study, a novel self-templated method is presented to successfully fabricate high-surface-area ultrathin nanosheets constructed TiO2 hollow spheres through the solvothermal treatment of the titanate-silicone composite particles combined with calcination. The uniquely structured hollow spheres exhibit excellent rate capability and good cycle stability even at a high current density of ≈10 C for the anode material of Li-ion battery.

Colloidal Synthesis of NbS2 Nanosheets: From Large-Area Ultrathin Nanosheets to Hierarchical Structures.

Project description:Layered NbS2, a member of group-V transition metal dichalcogenides, was synthesized via a colloidal synthesis method and employed as a negative material for a supercapacitor. The morphologies of NbS2 can be tuned from ultrathin nanosheets to hierarchical structures through dynamics controls based on growth mechanisms. Electrochemical energy storage measurements present that the ultrathin NbS2 electrode exhibits the highest rate capability due to having the largest electrochemical surface area and its efficient ion diffusion. Meanwhile, the hierarchical NbS2 shows the highest specific capacitance at low current densities for small charge transfer resistance, displays 221.4 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 117.1 F g-1 at 10 A g-1, and cycling stability with 78.9% of the initial specific capacitance after 10,000 cycles. The aggregate or stacking of nanosheets can be suppressed effectively by constructing hierarchical structure NbS2 nanosheets.

Defect induced, layer-modulated magnetism in ultrathin metallic PtSe2.

Project description:Defects are ubiquitous in solids and often introduce new properties that are absent in pristine materials. One of the opportunities offered by these crystal imperfections is an extrinsically induced long-range magnetic ordering1, a long-time subject of theoretical investigations1-3. Intrinsic, two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials4-7 are attracting increasing attention for their unique properties, which include layer-dependent magnetism4 and electric field modulation6. Yet, to induce magnetism into otherwise non-magnetic 2D materials remains a challenge. Here we investigate magneto-transport properties of ultrathin PtSe2 crystals and demonstrate an unexpected magnetism. Our electrical measurements show the existence of either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic ground-state orderings that depends on the number of layers in this ultrathin material. The change in the device resistance on the application of a ~25 mT magnetic field is as high as 400 Ω with a magnetoresistance value of 5%. Our first-principles calculations suggest that surface magnetism induced by the presence of Pt vacancies and the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange couplings across ultrathin films of PtSe2 are responsible for the observed layer-dependent magnetism. Given the existence of such unavoidable growth-related vacancies in 2D materials8,9, these findings can expand the range of 2D ferromagnets into materials that would otherwise be overlooked.

Controlled synthesis and tunable properties of ultrathin silica nanotubes through spontaneous polycondensation on polyamine fibrils.

Project description:This paper describes a facile approach to a biomimetic rapid fabrication of ultrathin silica nanotubes with a highly uniform diameter of 10 nm and inner hollow of around 3 nm. The synthesis is carried out through a spontaneous polycondensation of alkoxysilane on polyamine crystalline fibrils that were conveniently produced from the neutralization of a solution of protonated linear polyethyleneimine (LPEI-H(+)) by alkali compounds. A simple mixing the fibrils with alkoxysilane in aqueous solution allowed for the rapid formation of silica to produce LPEI@silica hybrid nanotubes. These 10-nm nanotubes were hierarchically organized in a mat-like morphology with a typical size of 1-2 micrometers. The subsequent removal of organic LPEI via calcination resulted in silica nanotubes that keep this morphology. The morphology, the structure, the pore properties and the formation mechanism of the silica nanotubes were carefully investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Detailed studies demonstrated that the formation of the nanotubes depends on the molar ratio of [OH]/[CH2CH2NH] during the neutralization as well as on the basicity of the alkali compound and on the concentration of the silica source. The synthesis of silica nanotubes established here could be easily applied to a fabrication on the kilogram scale. Silica nanotubes that were obtained from the calcination of hybrid nanotubes of LPEI@silica in an N2 atmosphere showed a distinct photoluminescence centered at 540 nm with a maximum excitation wavelength of 320 nm. Furthermore, LPEI@silica hybrid nanotubes were applied to create silica-carbon composite nanotubes by alternative adsorption of ionic polymers and subsequent carbonization.

Facile microwave-assisted synthesis of Klockmannite CuSe nanosheets and their exceptional electrical properties.

Project description:Klockmannite copper selenide nanosheets (CuSe NSs) are synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted method and fully characterized. The nanosheets have smooth surface and hexagonal shape. The lateral size is 200-500 nm × 400-800 nm and the thickness is 55 ± 20 nm. The current-voltage characteristics of CuSe NS films show unique Ohmic and high-conducting behaviors, comparable to the thermally-deposited gold electrode. The high electrical conductivity of CuSe NSs implies their promising applications in printed electronics and nanodevices. Moreover, the local electrical variation is observed, for the first time, within an individual CuSe NS at low bias voltages (0.1 ~ 3 V) by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). This is ascribed to the quantum size effect of NS and the presence of Schottky barrier. In addition, the influence of the molar ratio of Cu(2+)/SeO2, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the growth of CuSe NSs is explored. The template effect of oleylamine and the intrinsic crystal nature of CuSe NS are proposed to account for the growth of hexagonal CuSe NSs.

Thickness-Dependent Structural and Electrical Properties of WS2 Nanosheets Obtained via the ALD-Grown WO3 Sulfurization Technique as a Channel Material for Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Ultrathin WS2 films are promising functional materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Therefore, their synthesis over a large area, allowing control over their thickness and structure, is an essential task. In this work, we investigated the influence of atomic layer deposition (ALD)-grown WO3 seed-film thickness on the structural and electrical properties of WS2 nanosheets obtained via a sulfurization technique. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the thinnest (1.9 nm) film contains rather big (up to 50 nm) WS2 grains in the amorphous matrix. The signs of incomplete sulfurization, namely, oxysulfide phase presence, were found by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy analysis. The increase in the seed-film thickness of up to 4.7 nm resulted in a visible grain size decrease down to 15-20 nm, which was accompanied by defect suppression. The observed structural evolution affected the film resistivity, which was found to decrease from ∼106 to 103 (μΩ·cm) within the investigated thickness range. These results show that the thickness of the ALD-grown seed layer may strongly affect the resultant WS2 structure and properties. Most valuably, it was shown that the growth of the thinnest WS2 film (3-4 monolayers) is most challenging due to the amorphous intergrain phase formation, and further investigations focused on preventing the intergrain phase formation should be conducted.

Ultrathin palladium nanosheets with selectively controlled surface facets.

Project description:We report a facile bottom-up synthetic approach to preparing ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) palladium nanosheets (PdNSs) with selectively exposed surface facets. Our synthetic strategy is based on the utilization of the nanoconfined lamellar mesophases of amphiphilic functional surfactants to template the growth of PdNSs in aqueous solution. Preferential adsorption of functional groups (e.g., COOH, pyridyl and quaternary ammonium) and halide counter ions (e.g., Br- and Cl-) in the long-chain surfactants onto different Pd planes results in the epitaxial growth of {100}, {110} and {111}-exposed surface facets of ultrathin PdNSs. Our synthetic approach is a general, powerful and scalable method to precisely control the surface facets of ultrathin 2D PdNSs, thus providing an opportunity to evaluate facet-dependent catalytic performance of Pd nanocrystals. Ultrathin PdNSs have been examined as the electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). We show that {100}-exposed PdNSs display superior catalytic activity and stability for HERs, compared to that of {110} and {111}-exposed ones as well as their bulk counterparts. Conceivably, our findings will offer a general guideline in rational design of surfactant templates for other 2D metal nanosheets.

Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy and sensor applications of PtSe2 nanosheets synthesized by wet chemistry.

Project description:We report on a wet chemistry method used to grow PtSe2 nanosheets followed by thermal annealing. The SEM and TEM analysis confirms the formation of PtSe2 nanosheets. Furthermore, XRD, Raman, XPS and SAED patterns were used to analyze the crystal structure and to confirm the formation of the PtSe2 phase. The temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy investigations were carried out on PtSe2 nanosheets deposited on Si substrates in the temperature range 100-506 K. The shifts in Raman active Eg and A1g modes as a function of temperature were monitored. The temperature coefficient for both modes was calculated and was found to match well with the reported 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. A PtSe2 nanosheet-based sensor device was tested for its applicability as a humidity sensor and photodetector. The humidity sensor based on PtSe2 nanosheets showed an excellent recovery time of ≈5 s, indicating the great potential of PtSe2 for future sensor devices.
