Abstract
The interest in obtaining high-quality monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) for optoelectronic device applications has been growing dramatically. However, the prevalence of defects and unwanted doping in these materials remain challenges, as they both limit optical properties and device performance. Surface chemical treatments of monolayer TMDs have been effective in improving their photoluminescence yield and charge transport properties. In this scenario, a systematic understanding of the underlying mechanism of chemical treatments will lead to a rational design of passivation strategies in future research, ultimately taking a step toward practical optoelectronic applications. We will therefore describe in this mini-review the strategies, progress, mechanisms, and prospects of chemical treatments to passivate and improve the optoelectronic properties of TMDs.

Abstract
Bioinspired two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic systems for photo-induced ion transport have attracted great attention, as they open a new pathway to enabling light-to-ionic energy conversion. However, there is still a great challenge in achieving a satisfactory performance. It is noticed that organic solar cells (OSCs, light-harvesting device based on photovoltaic effect) commonly require hole/electron transport layer materials (TLMs), PEDOT:PSS (PE) and PDINN (PD), respectively, to promote the energy conversion. Inspired by such a strategy, an artificial proton pump by coupling a nanofluidic system with TLMs is proposed, in which the PE- and PD-functionalized tungsten disulfide (WS2) multilayers construct a heterogeneous membrane, realizing an excellent output power of ≈1.13 nW. The proton transport is fine-regulated due to the TLMs-engineered band structure of WS2. Clearly, the incorporating TLMs of OSCs into 2D nanofluidic systems offers a feasible and promising approach for band edge engineering and promoting the light-to-ionic energy conversion.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising 2D nanomaterials for diverse applications, but their intrinsic chemical inertness hinders their modification. Herein, a novel approach is presented for the photocatalytic acylation of 2H-MoS2 and 2H-MoSe2, utilizing tetrabutyl ammonium decatungstate ((nBu4N)4W10O32) polyoxometalate complex as a catalyst and a conventional halogen lamp as a source of irradiation. By harnessing the semiconducting properties of TMDs, new avenues emerge for the functionalization of these materials. This novel photocatalytic protocol constitutes the first report on the chemical modification of 2D nanomaterials based on a catalytic protocol and applies to both aliphatic and aromatic substrates. The scope of the decatungstate-photocatalyzed acylation reaction of TMDs is explored by employing an alkyl and an aromatic aldehyde and the success of the methodology is confirmed by diverse spectroscopic, thermal, microscopy imaging, and redox techniques. This catalytic approach on modifying 2D nanomaterials introduces the principles of atom economy in a functionalization protocol for TMDs. It marks a transformative shift toward more sustainable and efficient methodologies in the realm of TMD modification and nanomaterial chemistry.

Abstract
Petroleum-derived formaldehyde resin adhesives are serious hazards to human health and depend on limited resources. Abundant, cheap and renewable biomass materials are expected to replace them. However, the contradictory mechanisms of high mechanical strength and fracture toughness affect the use of bioadhesives. Herein, a biomimetic soybean meal (SM) adhesive inspired by the structure of insect cuticles and shell pearl layer was proposed. Specifically, chitosan (CS@DA) modified 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DA, rich in catechol moiety) was anchored on molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2) to construct a biomimetic structure with copper hydroxide and SM substrate (SM-MoS2/CS@DA-Cu). Schiff base, ionic, and hydrogen bonding strengthened the cohesion of the adhesive. The ordered alternating stacking "brick-mortar" structure stimulated the lamellar sliding and crack deflection of MoS2, synergistically reinforcing the toughness. Compared to SM adhesive (0.57 MPa and 0.148 J), the wet shear strength and adhesion work of the SM-MoS2/CS@DA-Cu were 1.68 MPa and 0.867 J, with 194.7 % and 485.8 % increases, respectively. The multiple antimicrobial effects of CS@DA, Schiff base, and Cu2+ increased the applicability period of the adhesive to 40 days. The adhesive also displayed favorable water resistance and flame retardancy. Therefore, this peculiar and efficient biomimetic structural design inspired the development of multi-functional composites.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer fascinating opportunities for fundamental nanoscale science and various technological applications. They are a promising platform for next generation optoelectronics and energy harvesting devices due to their exceptional characteristics at the nanoscale, such as tunable bandgap and strong light-matter interactions. The performance of TMD-based devices is mainly governed by the structure, composition, size, defects, and the state of their interfaces. Many properties of TMDs are influenced by the method of synthesis so numerous studies have focused on processing high-quality TMDs with controlled physicochemical properties. Plasma-based methods are cost-effective, well controllable, and scalable techniques that have recently attracted researchers' interest in the synthesis and modification of 2D TMDs. TMDs' reactivity toward plasma offers numerous opportunities to modify the surface of TMDs, including functionalization, defect engineering, doping, oxidation, phase engineering, etching, healing, morphological changes, and altering the surface energy. Here we comprehensively review all roles of plasma in the realm of TMDs. The fundamental science behind plasma processing and modification of TMDs and their applications in different fields are presented and discussed. Future perspectives and challenges are highlighted to demonstrate the prominence of TMDs and the importance of surface engineering in next-generation optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the fabrication and characterization of single-layer MoS2 field-effect transistors using biodegradable albumen (chicken eggwhite) as gate dielectric. By introducing albumen as an insulator for MoS2 transistors high carrier mobilities (up to ~90 cm2 V-1 s-1) are observed, which is remarkably superior to that obtained with commonly used SiO2 dielectric which we attribute to ionic gating due to the formation of an electric double layer in the albumen MoS2 interface. In addition, the investigated devices are characterized upon illumination, observing responsivities of 4.5 AW-1 (operated in photogating regime) and rise times as low as 52 ms (operated in photoconductivity regime). The presented study reveals the combination of albumen with van der Waals materials for prospective biodegradable and biocompatible optoelectronic device applications. Furthermore, the demonstrated universal fabrication process can be easily adopted to fabricate albumen-based devices with any other van der Waals material.

Abstract
InP-based quantum dots (QDs) have Stokes shifts and photoluminescence (PL) line widths that are larger than in II-VI semiconductor QDs with comparable exciton energies. The mechanisms responsible for these spectral characteristics are investigated in this paper. Upon comparing different semiconductors, we find the Stokes shift decreases in the following order: InP > CdTe > CdSe. We also find that the Stokes shift decreases with core size and decreases upon deposition of a ZnSe shell. We suggest that the Stokes shift is largely due to different absorption and luminescent states in the angular momentum fine structure. The energy difference between the fine structure levels, and hence the Stokes shifts, are controlled by the electron-hole exchange interaction. Luminescence polarization results are reported and are consistent with this assignment. Spectral widths are controlled by the extent of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening. We report PL and PL excitation (PLE) spectra that facilitate assessing the roles of homogeneous and different inhomogeneous broadening mechanisms in the spectra of zinc-treated InP and InP/ZnSe/ZnS particles. There are two distinct types of inhomogeneous broadening: size inhomogeneity and core-shell interface inhomogeneity. The latter results in a distribution of core-shell band offsets and is caused by interfacial dipoles associated with In-Se or P-Zn bonding. Quantitative modeling of the spectra shows that the offset inhomogeneity is comparable to but somewhat smaller than the size inhomogeneity. The combination of these two types of inhomogeneity also explains several aspects of reversible hole trapping dynamics involving localized In3+/VZn2- impurity states in the ZnSe shells.

Patching sulfur vacancies: A versatile approach for achieving ultrasensitive gas sensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:909-917.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) garner significant attention for their potential to create high-performance gas sensors. Despite their favorable properties such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, and large surface-to-volume ratio, the performance of TMDCs devices is compromised by sulfur vacancies, which reduce carrier mobility. To mitigate this issue, we propose a simple and universal approach for patching sulfur vacancies, wherein thiol groups are inserted to repair sulfur vacancies. The sulfur vacancy patching (SVP) approach is applied to fabricate a MoS2-based gas sensor using mechanical exfoliation and all-dry transfer methods, and the resulting 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) repaired molybdenum disulfide (4NTP-MoS2) is prepared via a sample solution process. Our results show that 4NTP-MoS2 exhibits higher response (increased by 200 %) to ppb-level NO2 with shorter response/recovery times (61/82 s) and better selectivity at 25 °C compared to pristine MoS2. Notably, the limit of detection (LOD) toward NO2 of 4NTP-MoS2 is 10 ppb. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and density functional theory (DFT) reveal that the improved gas sensing performance is mainly attributed to the 4NTP-induced n-doping effect on MoS2 and the corresponding increment of surface absorption energy to NO2. Additionally, our 4NTP-induced SVP approach is universal for enhancing gas sensing properties of other TMDCs, such as MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2.

[PMID: 37109940 PMCID: PMC10141543 DOI: 10.3390/ma16083105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has emerged as a promising photothermal material for solar desalination. However, its limitation in integrating with organic substances constrains its application because of the lack of functional groups on its surface. Here, this work presents a functionalization approach to introduce three different functional groups (-COOH -OH -NH2) on the surface of MoS2 by combining them with S vacancies. Subsequently, the functionalized MoS2 was coated on the polyvinyl alcohol-modified polyurethane sponge to fabricate a MoS2-based double-layer evaporator through an organic bonding reaction. Photothermal desalination experiments show that the functionalized material has higher photothermal efficiency. The evaporation rate of the hydroxyl functionalized the MoS2 evaporator evaporation rate is 1.35 kg m-2 h-1, and the evaporation efficiency is 83% at one sun. This work provides a new strategy for efficient, green, and large-scale utilization of solar energy by MoS2-based evaporators.

Light-driven proton transmembrane transport enabled by bio-semiconductor 2D membrane: A general peptide-induced WS 2 band shifting strategy. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 218:114741. [PMID: 36209531 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Light-driven proton directional transport is important in living beings as it could subtly realize the light energy conversion for living uses. In the past years, 2D materials-based nanochannels have shown great potential in active ion transport due to controllable properties, including surface charge distribution, wettability, functionalization, electric structure, and external stimuli responsibility, etc. However, to fuse the inorganic materials into bio-membranes still faces several challenges. Here, we proposed peptide-modified WS2 nanosheets via cysteine linkers to realize tunable band structure and, hence, enable light-driven proton transmembrane transport. The modification was achieved through the thiol chemistry of the -SH groups in the cysteine linker and the S vacancy on the WS2 nanosheets. By tuning the amino residues sequences (lysine-rich peptides, denoted as KFC; and aspartate-rich peptides, denoted as DFC), the ζ-potential, surface charge, and band energy of WS2 nanosheets could be rationally regulated. Janus membranes formed by assembling the peptide-modified WS2 nanosheets could realize the proton transmembrane transport under visible light irradiation, driven by a built-in potential due to a type II band alignment between the KFC-WS2 and DFC-WS2. As a result, the proton would be driven across the formed nanochannels. These results demonstrate a general strategy to build bio-semiconductor materials and provide a new way for embedding inorganic materials into biological systems toward the development of bioelectronic devices.

Dual tumor- and subcellular-targeted photodynamic therapy using glucose-functionalized MoS 2 nanoflakes for multidrug-resistant tumor ablation. Biomaterials 2022; 290:121844. [PMID: 36302305 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as an efficient strategy to combat multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer. However, the short half-life and limited diffusion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) undermine the therapeutic outcomes of this therapy. To address this issue, a tumor-targeting nanoplatform was developed to precisely deliver mitochondria- and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting PDT agents to desired sites for dual organelle-targeted PDT. The nanoplatform is constructed by functionalizing molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoflakes with glucose-modified hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG), and then loading the organelle-targeting PDT agents. The resultant nanoplatform Cy7.5-TG@GPM is demonstrated to mediate both greatly enhanced internalization within MDR cells and precise subcellular localization of PDT agents, facilitating in situ near-infrared (NIR)-triggered ROS generation for augmented PDT and reversal of MDR, causing impressive tumor shrinkage in a HeLa multidrug-resistant tumor mouse model. As revealed by mechanistic studies of the synergistic mitochondria- and ER-targeted PDT, ROS-induced ER stress not only activates the cytosine-cytosine-adenosine-adenosine thymidine/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) pro-apoptotic signaling pathway, but also cooperates with ROS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction to trigger cytochrome C release from the mitochondria and induce subsequent cell death. Furthermore, the mitochondrial dysfunction reduces ATP production and thereby contributes to the reversal of MDR. This nanoplatform, with its NIR-responsive properties and ability to target tumors and subcellular organelles, offers a promising strategy for effective MDR cancer therapy.

Abstract
The increasing population and industrial development are responsible for environmental pollution. Among toxic chemicals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly carcinogenic contaminants resulting from the incomplete combustion of organic materials. Two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), are ideal sensory scaffolds, combining high surface-to-volume ratio with physical and chemical properties that are strongly susceptible to environmental changes. TMDCs can be integrated in field-effect transistors (FETs), which can operate as high-performance chemical detectors of (non)covalent interaction with small molecules. Here, we have developed MoS2-based FETs as platforms for PAHs sensing, relying on the affinity of the planar polyaromatic molecules for the basal plane of MoS2 and the structural defects in its lattice. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, photoluminescence measurements, and transfer characteristics showed a notable reduction in the defectiveness of MoS2 and a p-type doping upon exposure to PAHs solutions, with a magnitude determined by the correlation between the ionization energies (EI) of the PAH and that of MoS2. Naphthalene, endowed with the higher EI among the studied PAHs, exhibited the highest output. We observed a log-log correlation between MoS2 doping and naphthalene concentration in water in a wide range (10-9-10-6 M), as well as a reversible response to the analyte. Naphthalene concentrations as low as 0.128 ppb were detected, being below the limits imposed by health regulations for drinking water. Furthermore, our MoS2 devices can reversibly detect vapors of naphthalene with both an electrical and optical readout, confirming that our architecture could operate as a dual sensing platform.

They offer numerous applications, such as electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices, in addition to energy storage and conversion. Atomic and structural modifications of van der Waals layered materials are required to achieve unique and versatile properties for advanced applications. This review presents a discussion on the atomic-scale and structural modifications of 2D TMDs and their heterostructures via post-treatment. Atomic-scale modifications such as vacancy generation, substitutional doping, functionalization and repair of 2D TMDs and structural modifications including phase transitions and construction of heterostructures are discussed. Such modifications on the physical and chemical properties of 2D TMDs enable the development of various advanced applications including electronic and optoelectronic devices, sensing, catalysis, nanogenerators, and memory and neuromorphic devices. Finally, the challenges and prospects of various post-treatment techniques and related future advanced applications are addressed.

Abstract
Flexible electronics require elastomeric and conductive biointerfaces with native tissue-like mechanical properties. The conventional approaches to engineer such a biointerface often utilize conductive nanomaterials in combination with polymeric hydrogels that are cross-linked using toxic photoinitiators. Moreover, these systems frequently demonstrate poor biocompatibility and face trade-offs between conductivity and mechanical stiffness under physiological conditions. To address these challenges, we developed a class of shear-thinning hydrogels as biomaterial inks for 3D printing flexible bioelectronics. These hydrogels are engineered through a facile vacancy-driven gelation of MoS2 nanoassemblies with naturally derived polymer-thiolated gelatin. Due to shear-thinning properties, these nanoengineered hydrogels can be printed into complex shapes that can respond to mechanical deformation. The chemically cross-linked nanoengineered hydrogels demonstrate a 20-fold rise in compressive moduli and can withstand up to 80% strain without permanent deformation, meeting human anatomical flexibility. The nanoengineered network exhibits high conductivity, compressive modulus, pseudocapacitance, and biocompatibility. The 3D-printed cross-linked structure demonstrates excellent strain sensitivity and can be used as wearable electronics to detect various motion dynamics. Overall, the results suggest that these nanoengineered hydrogels offer improved mechanical, electronic, and biological characteristics for various emerging biomedical applications including 3D-printed flexible biosensors, actuators, optoelectronics, and therapeutic delivery devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have gained considerable attention due to their distinctive properties and broad range of possible applications. One of the most widely studied transition metal dichalcogenides is molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The 2D MoS2 nanosheets have unique and complementary properties to those of graphene, rendering them ideal electrode materials that could potentially lead to significant benefits in many electrochemical applications. These properties include tunable bandgaps, large surface areas, relatively high electron mobilities, and good optical and catalytic characteristics. Although the use of 2D MoS2 nanosheets offers several advantages and excellent properties, surface functionalization of 2D MoS2 is a potential route for further enhancing their properties and adding extra functionalities to the surface of the fabricated sensor. The functionalization of the material with various metal and metal oxide nanostructures has a significant impact on its overall electrochemical performance, improving various sensing parameters, such as selectivity, sensitivity, and stability. In this review, different methods of preparing 2D-layered MoS2 nanomaterials, followed by different surface functionalization methods of these nanomaterials, are explored and discussed. Finally, the structure-properties relationship and electrochemical sensor applications over the last ten years are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the performance of 2D MoS2 with respect to the performance of electrochemical sensors, thereby giving new insights into this unique material and providing a foundation for researchers of different disciplines who are interested in advancing the development of MoS2-based sensors.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite (CsPbBr3) quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) layered transition metal dichalcogenides have a significant application in solution-processed optoelectronic devices. Here, we report the oleylamine-assisted exfoliation of TiSe2 nanosheets (NSs) in dichlorobenzene with high concentration and stable dispersion. The functionalized TiSe2 NSs were used to synthesize the solution-processed perovskite CsPbBr3 QD/TiSe2 NS-based nanocomposite. The perovskite QDs and TiSe2 NSs were characterized by different techniques. The strong photoluminescence (PL) quenching and decreased lifetime decay of the nanocomposite indicates efficient charge transfer from photo-excited CsPbBr3 to TiSe2 NSs. The calculated charge-transfer rate constant (KET) from photo-excited CsPbBr3 to TiSe2 NSs increased from 1.50 × 108 to 2.79 × 108 s-1 in different concentrations of TiSe2 NSs (5 to 20 μg mL-1), respectively. Furthermore, the photo-currents of CsPbBr3 QD/TiSe2 NS nanocomposite devices were dramatically enhanced ∼2 times compared to pristine CsPbBr3 QD based devices, which supports the charge transfer and charge separation in nanocomposite devices.

Abstract
Band gap engineering of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials has attracted a huge amount of interest as a key aspect to the application of these materials in nanooptoelectronics and nanophotonics. Low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy has been employed to perform a direct measurement of the band gap in atomically thin MoxW(1-x)S2 nanoflakes. The results show a bowing effect with the alloying degree, which fits previous studies focused on excitonic transitions. Additional properties regarding the Van Hove singularities in the density of states of these materials, as well as high energy excitonic transition, have been analysed as well.

Abstract
Liquid-phase exfoliation can be developed for the large-scale production of two-dimensional materials for photonic applications. Although atomically thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) show enhanced nonlinear optical properties or photoluminescence quantum yield relative to the bulk phase, these properties are weak in the absolute sense due to the ultrashort optical path, and they are also sensitive to layer-dependent symmetry properties. Another practical issue is that the chemical stability of some TMDs (e.g., Weyl semimetals) decreases dramatically as the thickness scales down to monolayer, precluding application as optical components in air. To address these issues, a way of exfoliating TMDs that ensures instantaneous passivation needs to be developed. Here, we employed a polymer-assisted electrochemical exfoliation strategy to synthesize PVP-passivated TMDs monolayers that could be spin coated and restacked into organic-inorganic superlattices with well-defined X-ray diffraction patterns. The segregation of restacked TMDs (e.g., MoS2) by PVP allows the inversion asymmetry of individual layers to be maintained in these superlattices, which allows second harmonic generation and photoluminescence to be linearly scaled with thickness. PVP-passivated monolayer 1T'-MoTe2 saturable absorber fabricated from these flakes exhibits fast response and recovery time (<150 fs) and pulse stability. Continuous-wave mode-locking based on 1T'-MoTe2 saturable absorber in a fiber ring laser cavity has been realized, attaining a fundamental repetition rate of 3.15 MHz and pulse duration as short as 867 fs at 1563 nm.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials can roll up, forming stable scrolls under suitable conditions. However, the great diversity of materials and fabrication techniques has resulted in a huge parameter space significantly complicating the theoretical description of scrolls. In this Letter, we describe a universal binding energy of scrolls determined solely by their material parameters, the bending stiffness, and the Hamaker coefficient. Aiming to predict the stability of functionalized scrolls in water solutions, we consider the electrostatic double-layer repulsion force that may overcome the binding energy and flatten the scrolls. Our predictions are represented as comprehensive maps indicating the stable and unstable regions of a rolled-up conformation state in the space of material and external parameters. While focusing mostly on functionalized graphene in this work, our approach is applicable to the whole range of 2D materials able to form scrolls.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic pain in the elderly worldwide. Yet current diagnosis and therapy for OA pain are subjective and nonspecific with significant adverse effects. Here, we introduced a theranostic nanoprobe based on molybdenum disulfide nanosheet-coated gold nanorods (MoS2-AuNR) targeting never growth factor (NGF), a key player in pain sensation, for photoacoustic pain imaging and near-infrared (NIR) imaging-guided photothermal analgesic therapy. MoS2 coating significantly improved the photoacoustic and photothermal performance of AuNR. Functionalization of MoS2-AuNR nanoprobes by conjugating with NGF antibody enabled active targeting on painful OA knees in a surgical OA murine model. We observed that our functional nanoprobes accumulated in the OA knee rather than the contralateral intact one, and the amount was correlated with the severity of mechanical allodynia in our mouse model. Under imaging guidance, NIR-excited photothermal therapy could mitigate mechanical allodynia and walking imbalance behavior for both subacute and chronic stages of OA in a preclinical setting. This molecular theranostic approach enabled us to specifically localize the source of OA pain and efficiently block peripheral pain transmission.

Abstract
The structure, chemistry, and charge of interfaces between materials and aqueous fluids play a central role in determining properties and performance of numerous water systems. Sensors, membranes, sorbents, and heterogeneous catalysts almost uniformly rely on specific interactions between their surfaces and components dissolved or suspended in the water-and often the water molecules themselves-to detect and mitigate contaminants. Deleterious processes in these systems such as fouling, scaling (inorganic deposits), and corrosion are also governed by interfacial phenomena. Despite the importance of these interfaces, much remains to be learned about their multiscale interactions. Developing a deeper understanding of the molecular- and mesoscale phenomena at water/solid interfaces will be essential to driving innovation to address grand challenges in supplying sufficient fit-for-purpose water in the future. In this Review, we examine the current state of knowledge surrounding adsorption, reactivity, and transport in several key classes of water/solid interfaces, drawing on a synergistic combination of theory, simulation, and experiments, and provide an outlook for prioritizing strategic research directions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 is emerging as a unique platform for a wide range of biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics, drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents. However, low processability and nonspecific interactions at biointerfaces are serious challenges that hamper the biomedical applications of this nanomaterial. Herein, we show how specific interactions between MoS2 and a gelatin matrix results in a biomimetic hydrogel with the self-healing and molecular recognition properties. β-Cyclodextrin was conjugated to the surface of freshly exfoliated MoS2 through a one pot nucleophilic substitution reaction and the obtained cyclodextrin-functionalized MoS2 was used to construct an injectable, self-healable and flexible supramolecular hydrogel upon host-guest interactions with adamantane-modified gelatin matrix. Incorporation of almost 1 wt% of CDMoS2 into gelatin matrix with 1cm2 cross-section resulted in a hydrogel that was able to tolerate one hundred grams. Also, storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G″) of the obtained hydrogel was 10 and 25 times higher than that for the neat gelatin, respectively. Due to its self-healing, molecular recognition and mechanical properties as well as its flexibility, injectability, and processability, MoS2gel is a promising candidate for a wide range of future biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics and tissue engineering.

Abstract
For aptamer-modified nanomaterial biosensors label-free detection methods are desirable due to them being simple and low in cost. Among these methods, nanomaterial aggregation for signal conversion is common, using materials such as gold nanoparticles. However, for MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2-NSs), signal conversion of its aggregation is difficult, resulting in the limited development of its label-free sensing applications. Herein, for the first time, the extinction spectrum has been employed to quickly transform the signal of MoS2-NS aggregation and reveal the size-dependent extinction response of MoS2-NS aggregation. Moreover, the size-dependent optical extinction behavior of MoS2-NSs, using aptamers to induce the dispersion of the MoS2-NSs and greatly improve their ability to identify targets, is studied. Importantly, this method has been employed to achieve the label-free detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7. The present investigation shows the promising use of MoS2-NSs for the development of label-free detection.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are of particular interest as a new active material for future triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) owing to their excellent electrical properties, optical transparency, flexibility, ultrathin thickness, and biocompatibility. Here, we propose a new approach to engineer the surface of TMDs via conjugation with thiolated ligands having different alkane chain lengths and to develop TMD-based TENG devices that exhibit enhanced output performance for the first time. The triboelectric charging behaviors of ligand-conjugated TMDs are successfully investigated, and the electrical output performance of TMD TENGs based on TMD-to-polymer device geometries with a vertical contact-separation mode is dramatically improved, exhibiting an output voltage of 12.2 V and a power density of 138 mW/m2. Furthermore, the ligand-conjugated TMD TENG device exhibits a highly stable operation under repeated contact and separation over 10 000 cycles, as well as high chemical stability, as a result of novel defect engineering via thiolated ligand conjugation. Detailed investigation reveals that the improved performance of the ligand-conjugated TMD TENG device originates from the synergistic effect of defect engineering and the p-type doping effect of TMDs, correlated with the increased electric potential difference between triboelectric layers. These findings provide a new potential of TMDs as a promising building block for the next-generation energy harvesting system.

Abstract
The reactions of O2 with S vacancy sites within a MoS2 monolayer were investigated using density functional theory calculations. We considered the following defects: single S vacancy, double S vacancy, two adjacent S vacancies and two S vacancies separated by a sulphur atom. We found that the surface distribution of S vacancy sites plays a key role in determining the surface reactivity towards O2. We observed the desorption of SO2 only for the last vacancy distribution. For the other cases, the surface becomes passivated with very stable structures having O atoms on the original vacancy sites and in some cases an SO group in an adjacent position. The ab initio molecular dynamics simulations showed that the impingement of the O2 molecule on an S vacancy site produces a stable chemisorbed O2 molecule with an upright configuration. The surface reactions initiate after the O2 molecule switches to the lying-down configuration which favours the breakage of the O-O bond and the concurrent formation of S-O bonds. In the most reactive vacancy site configuration, the dissociation of the first O2 molecule produces an SO intermediate which finally leads to desorption of SO2 after oxygen abstraction from the other adjacent O2 molecule. The formation of a MoO3 moiety within the monolayer was also observed in the molecular dynamic simulations at higher oxidation levels.

Abstract
Solution-processed semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are at the centre of an ever-increasing research effort in printed (opto)electronics. However, device performance is limited by structural defects resulting from the exfoliation process and poor inter-flake electronic connectivity. Here, we report a new molecular strategy to boost the electrical performance of transition metal dichalcogenide-based devices via the use of dithiolated conjugated molecules, to simultaneously heal sulfur vacancies in solution-processed transition metal disulfides and covalently bridge adjacent flakes, thereby promoting percolation pathways for the charge transport. We achieve a reproducible increase by one order of magnitude in field-effect mobility (µFE), current ratio (ION/IOFF) and switching time (τS) for liquid-gated transistors, reaching 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1, 104 and 18 ms, respectively. Our functionalization strategy is a universal route to simultaneously enhance the electronic connectivity in transition metal disulfide networks and tailor on demand their physicochemical properties according to the envisioned applications.

Abstract
High-performance electrocatalysts not only exhibit high catalytic activity but also have sufficient thermodynamic stability and electronic conductivity. Although metallic 1T-phase MoS2 and WS2 have been successfully identified to have high activity for hydrogen evolution reaction, designing more extensive metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) faces a large challenge because of the lack of a full understanding of electronic and composition attributes related to catalytic activity. In this work, we carried out systematic high-throughput calculation screening for all possible existing two-dimensional TMD (2D-TMD) materials to obtain high-performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts by using a few important criteria, such as zero band gap, highest thermodynamic stability among available phases, low vacancy formation energy, and approximately zero hydrogen adsorption energy. A series of materials-perfect monolayer VS2 and NiS2, transition-metal ion vacancy (TM-vacancy) ZrTe2 and PdTe2, chalcogenide ion vacancy (X-vacancy) MnS2, CrSe2, TiTe2, and VSe2-have been identified to have catalytic activity comparable with that of Pt(111). More importantly, electronic structural analysis indicates active electrons induced by defects are mostly delocalized in the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neighbor range, rather than a single-atom active site. Combined with the machine learning method, the HER-catalytic activity of metallic phase 2D-TMD materials can be described quantitatively with local electronegativity (0.195·LEf + 0.205·LEs) and valence electron number (Vtmx), where the descriptor is ΔGH* = 0.093 - (0.195·LEf + 0.205·LEs) - 0.15·Vtmx.

Abstract
Titanium diselenide (TiSe2) is the least studied member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family due to a lack of available synthesis methodology, controlled bandgap engineering, and rapid characterization of layers. In this paper, we report the chemical exfoliation of TiSe2 platelets synthesized by the chemical vapor transport route in ortho-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) functionalized with oleylamine (OLA), for the first time to the best of our knowledge. It is found that the addition of OLA supports the formation of a stable dispersion of a large area of the TiSe2 sheets due to surface capping with the OLA molecules indicating the importance of the ligand in dispersion behavior. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the hexagonal structure of the TiSe2 platelets with the space group P3[combining macron]m1 while Raman spectroscopy reveals that two modes of vibration i.e. A1g and E2g exist with layered structures having dimensions in micrometers as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the successful functionalization of chemically exfoliated TiSe2 nanosheets. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy reveals that exfoliated TiSe2 has a thickness of 15-55 nm whereas high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates thicker sheets for ligand-free exfoliated TiSe2 which are crystalline. Atomic force microscopy confirms the formation of nanosheets. UV-Visible, photoluminescence, and time-resolved PL spectroscopy showed an enhanced effect and better average lifetime of excitation for the exfoliated sheets with OLA than those without OLA. The C-V studies reveal that with increasing scan rate, the corresponding current also increases. The present study offers the possibility of their utilization in optoelectronics, advanced low-power electronics, voltage-controlled oscillators, ultra-fast electronics, and electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional heterostructures (2D HSs) have emerged as a new class of materials where dissimilar 2D materials are combined to synergise their advantages and alleviate shortcomings. Such a combination of dissimilar components into 2D HSs offers fascinating properties and intriguing functionalities attributed to the newly formed heterointerface of constituent components. Understanding the nature of the surface and the complex heterointerface of HSs at the atomic level is crucial for realising the desired properties, designing innovative 2D HSs, and ultimately unlocking their full potential for practical applications. Therefore, this review provides the recent progress in the field of 2D HSs with a focus on the discussion of the fundamentals and the chemistry of heterointerfaces based on van der Waals (vdW) and covalent interactions. It also explains the challenges associated with the scalable synthesis and introduces possible methodologies to produce large quantities with good control over the heterointerface. Subsequently, it highlights the specialised characterisation techniques to reveal the heterointerface formation, chemistry and nature. Afterwards, we give an overview of the role of 2D HSs in various emerging applications, particularly in high-power batteries, bifunctional catalysts, electronics, and sensors. In the end, we present conclusions with the possible solutions to the associated challenges with the heterointerfaces and potential opportunities that can be adopted for innovative applications.

Abstract
Globally, millions of people die of microbial infection-related diseases every year. The more terrible situation is that due to the overuse of antibiotics, especially in developing countries, people are struggling to fight with the bacteria variation. The emergence of super-bacteria will be an intractable environmental and health hazard in the future unless novel bactericidal weapons are mounted. Consequently, it is critical to develop viable antibacterial approaches to sustain the prosperous development of human society. Recent researches indicate that transition metal sulfides (TMSs) represent prominent bactericidal application potential owing to the meritorious antibacterial performance, acceptable biocompatibility, high solar energy utilization efficiency, and excellent photo-to-thermal conversion characteristics, and thus, a comprehensive review on the recent advances in this area would be beneficial for the future development. In this review article, we start with the antibacterial mechanisms of TMSs to provide a preliminary understanding. Thereafter, the state-of-the-art research progresses on the strategies for TMSs materials engineering so as to promote their antibacterial properties are systematically surveyed and summarized, followed by a summary of the practical application scenarios of TMSs-based antibacterial platforms. Finally, based on the thorough survey and analysis, we emphasize the challenges and future development trends in this area.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we combine experimental and computational approaches to study the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of dielectrics on MoS2 surfaces for a very common class of ALD precursors, the alkylamines. More specifically, we study the thermal ALD of TiO2 from TDMAT and H2O. Depositions on as-produced chemical vapor deposition MoS2 flakes result in discontinuous films. Surface treatment with mercaptoethanol (ME) does not improve the surface coverage, and DFT calculations show that ME reacts very weakly with the MoS2 surface. However, creation of sulfur vacancies on the MoS2 surface using Ar ion beam irradiation results in much improved surface coverage for films with a nominal thickness of 6 nm, and the calculations show that TDMAT reacts moderately with either single or extended sulfur vacancies. ME also reacts with the vacancies, and defect-rich surfaces treated with ME provide an equally good surface for the nucleation of ALD TiO2 films. The computational studies however reveal that the creation of surface vacancies results in the introduction of gap states that may deteriorate the electronic properties of the stack. Treatment with ME results in the complete removal of the gap states originating from the most commonly found single vacancies and reduces substantially the density of states for double and line vacancies. As a result, we provide a pathway for the deposition of high-quality ALD dielectrics on the MoS2 surfaces, which is required for the successful integration of these 2D materials in functional devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have attracted much attention in the field of optoelectronics due to their tunable bandgaps, strong interaction with light and tremendous capability for developing diverse van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) with other materials. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) atomic layers which exhibit high carrier mobility and optical transparency are very suitable for developing ultra-broadband photodetectors to be used from surveillance and healthcare to optical communication. This review provides a brief introduction to TMD-based photodetectors, exclusively focused on MoS2-based photodetectors. The current research advances show that the photoresponse of atomic layered MoS2 can be significantly improved by boosting its charge carrier mobility and incident light absorption via forming MoS2 based plasmonic nanostructures, halide perovskites-MoS2 heterostructures, 2D-0D MoS2/quantum dots (QDs) and 2D-2D MoS2 hybrid vdWHs, chemical doping, and surface functionalization of MoS2 atomic layers. By utilizing these different integration strategies, MoS2 hybrid heterostructure-based photodetectors exhibited remarkably high photoresponsivity raging from mA W-1 up to 1010 A W-1, detectivity from 107 to 1015 Jones and a photoresponse time from seconds (s) to nanoseconds (10-9 s), varying by several orders of magnitude from deep-ultraviolet (DUV) to the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region. The flexible photodetectors developed from MoS2-based hybrid heterostructures with graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), TMDs, and ZnO are also discussed. In addition, strain-induced and self-powered MoS2 based photodetectors have also been summarized. The factors affecting the figure of merit of a very wide range of MoS2-based photodetectors have been analyzed in terms of their photoresponsivity, detectivity, response speed, and quantum efficiency along with their measurement wavelengths and incident laser power densities. Conclusions and the future direction are also outlined on the development of MoS2 and other 2D TMD-based photodetectors.

Abstract
Chemically reduced graphene oxide possesses unique properties and leads to a secure processing method for many applications. The electrical and optical properties of graphene oxide are strongly dependent on the chemical and atomic structure. In the present work, the reduction of synthesized multilayer graphene oxide sheets by both chemical and thermal methods to use them as a substrate in the field of molecular electronic device fabrication is reported. 1-Dodecanethiol molecules are used to covalently bond on the surface atoms of reduced graphene oxide to constitute molecular electronic devices. The metal-organic molecules-reduced graphene oxide-metal junctions show a significant reduction in current levels and weak diode behavior. The observations confirm the tunneling as the conduction mechanism. The sheets are low cost, highly flexible, and can be used as a substrate to build the molecular electronic junctions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides possess inherent structural characteristics that can be harnessed for enhancement of tribological properties by making them dispersible in lube media. Here, we present a hydrothermal approach to preparing MoS2 nanosheets comprising 4-10 molecular lamellae. A structural-defect-mediated route for grafting of octadecylamine (ODA) on MoS2 nanosheets is outlined. The unsaturated d orbitals of Mo at the sulfur vacancies on the MoS2 surface are coupled with the electron-rich nitrogen center of ODA and yield ODA-functionalized MoS2 (MoS2-ODA). The MoS2-ODA nanosheets exhibit good dispersibility in lube base oil and are used as an additive (optimized dose: 0.1 mg·mL-1) to mineral oil. It is shown that even at low concentration, MoS2-ODA nanosheets significantly reduce the friction (48%) and wear (44%). Microscopy (field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM)) and spectroscopy (Raman and elemental mapping) analyses of worn scars revealed the formation of MoS2-based protective thin films for lowering of friction and wear. This work, therefore, presents a pathway for low-friction lubricants by deploying functionalized low-dimensional material systems.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanomaterials are an emerging class of biomaterials that are photoresponsive at near-infrared wavelengths (NIR). Here, we demonstrate the ability of 2D MoS2 to modulate cellular functions of human stem cells through photothermal mechanisms. The interaction of MoS2 and NIR stimulation of MoS2 with human stem cells is investigated using whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). Global gene expression profile of stem cells reveals significant influence of MoS2 and NIR stimulation of MoS2 on integrins, cellular migration, and wound healing. The combination of MoS2 and NIR light may provide new approaches to regulate and direct these cellular functions for the purposes of regenerative medicine as well as cancer therapy.

Abstract
The intrinsic activity of in-plane chalcogen atoms plays a significant role in the catalytic performance of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). A rational modulation of the local configurations is essential to activating the in-plane chalcogen atoms but restricted by the high energy barrier to break the in-plane TM-X (X = chalcogen) bonds. Here, we theoretically design and experimentally realize the tuning of local configurations. The electron transfer capacity of local configurations is used to screen suitable TMDs materials for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Among various configurations, the triangular-shape cobalt atom cluster with a central sulfur vacancy (3CoMo-VS) renders the distinct electrocatalytic performance of MoS2 with much reduced overpotential and Tafel slope. The present study sheds light on deeper understanding of atomic-scale local configuration in TMDs and a methodology to boost the intrinsic activity of chalcogen atoms.

Abstract
Water oxidation and reduction reactions play vital roles in highly efficient hydrogen production conducted by an electrolyzer, in which the enhanced efficiency of the system is apparently accompanied by the development of active electrocatalysts. Solar energy, a sustainable and clean energy source, can supply the kinetic energy to increase the rates of catalytic reactions. In this regard, understanding of the underlying fundamental mechanisms of the photo/electrochemical process is critical for future development. Combining light-absorbing materials with catalysts has become essential to maximizing the efficiency of hydrogen production. To fabricate an efficient absorber-catalysts system, it is imperative to fully understand the vital role of surface/interface modulation for enhanced charge transfer/separation and catalytic activity for a specific reaction. The electronic and chemical structures at the interface are directly correlated to charge carrier movements and subsequent chemical adsorption and reaction of the reactants. Therefore, rational surface modulation can indeed enhance the catalytic efficiency by preventing charge recombination and prompting transfer, increasing the reactant concentration, and ultimately boosting the catalytic reaction. Herein, the authors review recent progress on the surface modification of nanomaterials as photo/electrochemical catalysts for water reduction and oxidation, considering two successive photogenerated charge transfer/separation and catalytic chemical reactions. It is expected that this review paper will be helpful for the future development of photo/electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Two‐dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) holds great promise in electronic and optoelectronic applications owing to its unique structure and intriguing properties. The intrinsic defects such as sulfur vacancies (SVs) of MoS2 nanosheets are found to be detrimental to the device efficiency. To mitigate this problem, functionalization of 2D MoS2 using thiols has emerged as one of the key strategies for engineering defects. Herein, we demonstrate an approach to controllably engineer the SVs of chemically exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets using a series of substituted thiophenols in solution. The degree of functionalization can be tuned by varying the electron‐withdrawing strength of substituents in thiophenols. We find that the intensity of 2LA(M) peak normalized to A1g peak strongly correlates to the degree of functionalization. Our results provide a spectroscopic indicator to monitor and quantify the defect engineering process. This method of MoS2 defect functionalization in solution also benefits the further exploration of defect‐free MoS2 for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
2D materials have received tremendous scientific and engineering interests due to their remarkable properties and broad-ranging applications such as energy storage and conversion, catalysis, biomedicine, electronics, and so forth. To further enhance their performance and endow them with new functions, 2D materials are proposed to hybridize with other nanostructured building blocks, resulting in hybrid nanostructures with various morphologies and structures. The properties and functions of these hybrid nanostructures depend strongly on the interfacial interactions between 2D materials and other building blocks. Covalent and coordination bonds are two strong interactions that hold high potential in constructing these robust hybrid nanostructures based on 2D materials. However, most 2D materials are chemically inert, posing problems for the covalent assembly with other building blocks. There are usually coordination atoms in most of 2D materials and their derivatives, thus coordination interaction as a strong interfacial interaction has attracted much attention. In this review, recent progress on the coordination-driven hierarchical assembly based on 2D materials is summarized, focusing on the synthesis approaches, various architectures, and structure-property relationship. Furthermore, insights into the present challenges and future research directions are also presented.

Abstract
Mixed-dimensional van der Waals nanohybrids (MvNHs) of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and zero-dimensional perovskites are highly promising candidates for high-performance photonic device applications. However, the growth of perovskites over the surface of TMDs has been a challenging task due to the distinguishable surface chemistry of these two different classes of materials. Here, we demonstrate a synthetic route for the design of MoSe2-CsPbBr3 MvNHs using a bifunctional ligand, i.e., 4-aminothiophenol. Close contact between these two materials is established via a bridge that leads to the formation of a donor-bridge-acceptor system. The presence of the small conjugated ligand facilitates faster charge diffusion across MoSe2-CsPbBr3 interfaces. Density functional theory calculations confirm the type-II band alignment of the constituents within the MvNHs. The MoSe2-CsPbBr3 nanohybrids show much higher photocurrent (∼2 × 104-fold photo-to-dark current ratio) as compared to both pure CsPbBr3 nanocrystals and pristine MoSe2 nanosheets owing to the synergistic effect of pronounced light-matter interactions followed by efficient charge separation and transportation. This study suggests the use of a bifunctional ligand to construct a nanohybrid system to tune the optoelectronic properties for potential applications in photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
We use annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM) to study how solution-deposited molecules bind to the edges and surface regions around nanopores in MoS2 monolayers. Nanopores with clean atomically flat edges and controllable mean diameter were generated by time-dependent large-area electron beam exposure during an in situ heating process, ready for subsequent molecular attachment. An organic molecule was designed to have a dithiolane end group that binds to Mo-terminated sites and a ligand structure that incorporates a single transition metal atom (Pt) marker for ADF-STEM detection. Pt atoms were used to track molecular binding around zigzag edges of MoS2 and to predict the orientations and conformations of molecules upon binding. We found that the molecules preferred to reside on the surface of the MoS2, pointing inward when attaching to the edge, rather than dangling out from the edge into free space, which is attributed to van der Waals interactions between the aromatic core of the molecule and the MoS2 basal planes. These results help us understand the way solution-deposited single molecules attach to free-standing edges of 2D crystals and the influence of van der Waals forces in guiding molecular binding.
