Abstract
Electron transfer is a fundamental energy conversion process widely present in synthetic, industrial, and natural systems. Understanding the electron transfer process is important to exploit the uniqueness of the low-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures because interlayer electron transfer produces the function of this class of material. Here, we show the occurrence of an electron transfer process in one-dimensional layer-stacking of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). This observation makes use of femtosecond broadband optical spectroscopy, ultrafast time-resolved electron diffraction, and first-principles theoretical calculations. These results reveal that near-ultraviolet photoexcitation induces an electron transfer from the conduction bands of CNT to BNNT layers via electronic decay channels. This physical process subsequently generates radial phonons in the one-dimensional vdW heterostructure material. The gathered insights unveil the fundamentals physics of interfacial interactions in low dimensional vdW heterostructures and their photoinduced dynamics, pushing their limits for photoactive multifunctional applications.

Abstract
Memristors-based integrated circuits for emerging bio-inspired computing paradigms require an integrated approach utilizing both volatile and nonvolatile memristive devices. Here, an innovative architecture comprising of 1D CVD-grown core-shell heterostructures (CSHSs) of MoO2-MoS2 is employed as memristors manifesting both volatile switching (with high selectivity of 107 and steep slope of 0.6 mV decade-1) and nonvolatile switching phenomena (with Ion/Ioff ≈103 and switching speed of 60 ns). In these CSHSs, the metallic core MoO2 with high current carrying capacity provides a conformal and immaculate interface with semiconducting MoS2 shells and therefore it acts as a bottom electrode for the memristors. The power consumption in volatile devices is as low as 50 pW per set transition and 0.1 fW in standby mode. Voltage-driven current spikes are observed for volatile devices while with nonvolatile memristors, key features of a biological synapse such as short/long-term plasticity and paired pulse facilitation are emulated suggesting their potential for the development of neuromorphic circuits. These CSHSs offer an unprecedented solution for the interfacial issues between metallic electrodes and the layered materials-based switching element with the prospects of developing smaller footprint memristive devices for future integrated circuits.

Abstract
Planar silicon nanowires (SiNWs), grown by using low temperature catalytic approaches, are excellent 1D channel materials for developing high-performance logics and sensors. However, a deterministic position and size control of the metallic catalyst droplets, that lead to the growth of SiNWs, remains still a significant challenge for reliable device integration. In this work, we present a convenient but powerful edge-trimming catalyst formation strategy, which can help to produce a rather uniform single-row of indium (In) catalyst droplets of Dcat = 67 ± 5 nm in diameter, with an exact one-droplet-on-one-step arrangement. This approach marks a significant achievement in self-assembled catalyst formation and offers a foundation to attain a reliable and scalable growth of density SiNW channels, via an in-plane solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS) mechanism, with a uniform diameter down to Dnw = 35 ± 4 nm, and do not rely on high-precision lithography techniques. Prototype SiNW-based field effect transistors (FETs) are also fabricated, with a high Ion/Ioff current ratio and small subthreshold swing of >107 and 262 mV·dec-1, respectively, indicating a reliable new routine to integrate a wide range of SiNW-based logic, sensor, and display applications.

Abstract
Van der Waals (vdW) assembly of low-dimensional materials has proven the capability of creating structures with on-demand properties. It is predicted that the vdW encapsulation can induce a local high-pressure of a few GPa, which will strongly modify the structure and property of trapped materials. Here, we report on the structural collapse of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) induced by the vdW encapsulation. By simply covering CNTs with a hexagonal boron nitride flake, most of the CNTs (≈77%) convert from a tubular structure to a collapsed flat structure. Regardless of their original diameters, all the collapsed CNTs exhibit a uniform height of ≈0.7 nm, which is roughly the thickness of bilayer graphene. Such structural collapse is further confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, which shows a prominent broadening and blue shift in the Raman G-peak. The vdW encapsulation-induced collapse of CNTs is fully captured by molecular dynamics simulations of the local vdW pressure. Further near-field optical characterization reveals a metal-semiconductor transition in accompany with the CNT structural collapse. Our study provides not only a convenient approach to generate local high-pressure for fundamental research, but also a collapsed-CNT semiconductor for nanoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films exhibit exceptional optical and electrical properties, making them highly promising for scalable integrated devices. Previously, we employed SWCNT films as templates for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis of one-dimensional heterostructure films where boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and molybdenum disulfide nanotubes (MoS2NTs) were coaxially nested over the SWCNT networks. In this work, we have further refined the synthesis method to achieve precise control over the BNNT coating in SWCNT@BNNT heterostructure films. The resulting structure of the SWCNT@BNNT films was thoroughly characterized using a combination of electron microscopy, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Specifically, we investigated the pressure effect induced by BNNT wrapping on the SWCNTs in the SWCNT@BNNT heterostructure film and demonstrated that the shifts of the SWCNT's G and 2D (G') modes in Raman spectra can be used as a probe of the efficiency of BNNT coating. In addition, we studied the impact of vacuum annealing on the removal of the initial doping in SWCNTs, arising from exposure to ambient atmosphere, and examined the effect of MoO3 doping in SWCNT films by using UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. We show that through correlation analysis of the G and 2D (G') modes in Raman spectra, it is possible to discern distinct types of doping effects as well as the influence of applied pressure on the SWCNTs within SWCNT@BNNT heterostructure films. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the strain and doping effect in both SWCNTs and SWCNT@BNNTs, thereby providing valuable insights for future applications of carbon-nanotube-based one-dimensional heterostructures.

Abstract
Planar hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and tubular BN nanotube (BNNT), known for their superior mechanical and thermal properties, as well as wide electronic band gap, hold great potential for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. Chemical vapor deposition has demonstrated the best way to scalable synthesis of high-quality BN nanomaterials. Yet, the atomistic understanding of reactions from precursors to product-material remains elusive, posing challenges for experimental design. Here, performing first-principles calculations and ab initio molecular simulations, we explore pyrolytic decomposition pathways of the most used precursor ammonia borane (H3BNH3, AB) to BN, in gas-phase and on Ni(111) or amorphous boron (for BNNT growth) surfaces, for comparison. It reveals that in the gas phase, a pair of AB molecules cooperate to form intermediate NH3 and ammonia diborane, which further dissociates into H2BNH2, accompanied by critical BH4- and NH4+ ions. These ions act as H scavengers facilitating H2BNH2 dehydrogenation into HBNH. The consequent HBNH directly feeds BN flake growth by reacting with the crystal edge, while the addition of H2BNH2 to the edge is prohibited at 1500 K. In contrast, on Ni and boron surfaces, AB monomer dehydrogenates stepwise, deeper, yielding BNH and BN dimer as the primary building unit. Our study maps out three typical experimental conditions regarding the dissociation of AB-precursor, providing insights into the underlying reaction mechanisms of gas-phase precursors, to help as guidelines for the experimental growth of BN nanomaterials.

Abstract
Thermal conductivity measurements are conducted by optothermal Raman technique before and after the introduction of an axial tensile strain in a suspended single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) through end-anchoring by boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Surprisingly, the axial tensile strain (<0.4 %) in SWCNT results in a considerable enhancement of its thermal conductivity, and the larger the strain, the higher the enhancement. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity reduction with temperature is much alleviated for the strained nanotube compared to previously reported unstrained cases. The thermal conductivity of SWCNT increases with its length is also observed.

Abstract
Low-dimensional ferroelectric tunnel junctions are appealing for the realization of nanoscale nonvolatile memory devices due to their inherent advantages of device miniaturization. Those based on current mechanisms have limitations, including low tunneling electroresistance (TER) effects and complex heterostructures. Here, we introduce an entirely new TER mechanism to construct a nanotube ferroelectric tunnel junction with ferroelectric nanotubes as the tunneling region. When rolling a ferroelectric monolayer into a nanotube, due to the coexistence of its intrinsic ferroelectric polarization with the flexoelectric polarization induced by bending, a metal-insulator transition occurs depending on the radiative polarization states. For the pristine monolayer, its out-of-plane polarization is tunable by an in-plane electric field, and the conducting states of the ferroelectric nanotube can thus be tuned between metallic and insulating states via axial electric means. Using α-In2Se3 as an example, our first-principles density functional theory calculations and nonequilibrium Green's function formalism confirm the feasibility of the TER mechanism and indicate an ultrahigh TER ratio that exceeds 9.9 × 1010% of the proposed nanotube ferroelectric tunnel junctions. Our findings provide a promising approach based on simple homogeneous structures for high density ferroelectric microelectric devices with excellent ON/OFF performance.

Despite considerable efforts thus far, the direct growth of TMD nanotubes with controllable chirality remains challenging. Here we demonstrate the direct and facile growth of high-quality WS2 and WSe2 nanotubes on Si substrates using catalytic chemical vapour deposition with Au nanoparticles. The Au nanoparticles provide unique accommodation sites for the nucleation of WS2 or WSe2 shells on their surfaces and seed the subsequent growth of nanotubes. We find that the growth mode of nanotubes is sensitive to the temperature. With careful temperature control, we realize ~79% WS2 nanotubes with single chiral angles, with a preference of 30° (~37%) and 0° (~12%). Moreover, we demonstrate how the geometric, electronic and optical properties of the synthesized WS2 nanotubes can be modulated by the chirality. We anticipate that this approach using Au nanoparticles as catalysts will facilitate the growth of TMD nanotubes with controllable chirality and promote the study of their interesting properties and applications.

Abstract
The vector characteristics of light and the vectorial transformations during its transmission lay a foundation for polarized photodetection of objects, which broadens the applications of related detectors in complex environments. With the breakthrough of low-dimensional materials (LDMs) in optics and electronics over the past few years, the combination of these novel LDMs and traditional working modes is expected to bring new development opportunities in this field. Here, the state-of-the-art progress of LDMs, as polarization-sensitive components in polarized photodetection and even the imaging, is the main focus, with emphasis on the relationship between traditional working principle of polarized photodetectors (PPs) and photoresponse mechanisms of LDMs. Particularly, from the view of constitutive equations, the existing works are reorganized, reclassified, and reviewed. Perspectives on the opportunities and challenges are also discussed. It is hoped that this work can provide a more general overview in the use of LDMs in this field, sorting out the way of related devices for "more than Moore" or even the "beyond Moore" research.

Abstract
Tubular structures of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted attention in recent years due to their emergent physical properties, such as the giant bulk photovoltaic effect and chirality-dependent superconductivity. To understand and control these properties, it is highly desirable to develop a sophisticated method to fabricate TMDC tubular structures with smaller diameters and a more uniform crystalline orientation. For this purpose, the rolling up of TMDC monolayers into nanoscrolls is an attractive approach to fabricating such a tubular structure. However, the symmetric atomic arrangement of a monolayer TMDC generally makes its tubular structure energetically unstable due to considerable lattice strain in curved monolayers. Here, we report the fabrication of narrow nanoscrolls by using Janus TMDC monolayers, which have an out-of-plane asymmetric structure. Janus WSSe and MoSSe monolayers were prepared by the plasma-assisted surface atom substitution of WSe2 and MoSe2 monolayers, respectively, and then were rolled by solution treatment. The multilayer tubular structures of Janus nanoscrolls were revealed by scanning transmission electron microscopy observations. Atomic resolution elemental analysis confirmed that the Janus monolayers were rolled up with the Se-side surface on the outside. We found that the present nanoscrolls have the smallest diameter of about 5 nm, which is almost the same as the value predicted by the DFT calculation. The difference in work functions between the S- and Se-side surfaces was measured by Kelvin probe force microscopy, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Strong interlayer interactions and anisotropic optical responses of the Janus nanoscrolls were also revealed by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
The realization of stable monolayers from 2D van der Waals (vdW) solids has fueled the search for exfoliable crystals with even lower dimensionalities. To this end, 1D and quasi-1D (q-1D) vdW crystals comprising weakly bound subnanometer-thick chains have been discovered and demonstrated to exhibit nascent physics in the bulk. Although established micromechanical and liquid-phase exfoliation methods have been applied to access single isolated chains from bulk crystals, interchain vdW interactions with nonequivalent strengths have greatly hindered the ability to achieve uniform single isolated chains. Here, we report that encapsulation of the model q-1D vdW crystal, Sb2Se3, within single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) circumvents the relatively stronger c-axis vdW interactions between the chains and allows for the isolation of single chains with structural integrity. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction studies of the Sb2Se3@CNT heterostructure revealed that the structure of the [Sb4Se6]n chain is preserved, enabling us to systematically probe the size-dependent properties of Sb2Se3 from the bulk down to a single chain. We show that ensembles of the [Sb4Se6]n chains within CNTs display Raman confinement effects and an emergent band-like absorption onset around 600 nm, suggesting a strong blue shift of the near-infrared band gap of Sb2Se3 into the visible range upon encapsulation. First-principles density functional theory calculations further provided qualitative insight into the structures and interactions that could manifest in the Sb2Se3@CNT heterostructure. Spatial visualization of the calculated electron density difference map of the heterostructure indicated a minimal degree of electron donation from the host CNT to the guest [Sb4Se6]n chain. Altogether, this model system demonstrates that 1D and q-1D vdW crystals with strongly anisotropic vdW interactions can be precisely studied by encapsulation within CNTs with suitable diameters, thereby opening opportunities in understanding dimension-dependent properties of a plethora of emergent vdW solids at or approaching the subnanometer regime.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which are representative of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, have attracted tremendous attention over the last two decades. TMDCs are regarded as potential candidates in modern nano- and optoelectronic applications due to their unique crystal structures and outstanding electronic and optoelectronic properties. For practical use, 2D semiconductors need to be fabricated with diverse morphologies for integration into electronic devices and to perform different functionalities. Controlled patterning synthesis with programmable geometries is therefore highly desired. We review state-of-the-art strategies for the patterned growth of atomic layer TMDCs and their heterostructures, including additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing for patterning single TMDC materials and the introduction of other low-dimensional nanomaterials as growth templates or hetero-atoms for element conversion in patterning TMDC heterostructures. The optoelectronic and electronic applications of the as-grown monolayer TMDC patterns are introduced. Future challenges and the prospects for the patterned growth of 2D semiconductors are discussed based on present achievements.

Abstract
The emergence of one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures (1D vdWHs) opens up potential fields with unique properties, but precise synthesis remains a challenge. The utilization of mixed conductive types of carbon nanotubes as templates has imposed restrictions on the investigation of the electrical behavior and interlayer interaction of 1D vdWHs. In this study, we efficiently encapsulated silver iodide in high-purity semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (sSWCNTs), forming 1D AgI@sSWCNT vdWHs. We characterized the semiconductor-metal transition and increased the carrier concentration of individual AgI@sSWCNTs via sensitive dielectric force microscopy and confirmed the results through electrical device tests. The electrical behavior transition was attributed to an interlayer charge transfer, as demonstrated by Kelvin probe force microscopy. Furthermore, we showed that this method of synthesizing 1D heterostructures can be extended to other metal halides. This work opens the door for the further exploration of the electrical properties of 1D vdWHs.

Abstract
Pressure can alter interatomic distances and its electrostatic interactions, exerting a profound modifying effect on electron orbitals and bonding patterns. Conventional pressure engineering relies on compressions from external sources, which raises significant challenge in precisely applying pressure on individual molecules and also consume substantial mechanical energy. Here we report ultrasmall single-layered NbSe2 flat tubes (< 2.31 nm) created by self-pressurization during the deselenization of NbSe3 within carbon nanotubes (CNTs). As the internal force (4-17 GPa) is three orders of magnitude larger than the shear strength between CNTs, the flat tube is locked to prevent slippage. Electrical transport measurements indicate that the large pressure within CNTs induces enhanced intermolecular electron correlations. The strictly one-dimensional NbSe2 flat tubes harboring the Luttinger liquid (LL) state, showing a higher tunneling exponent [Formula: see text] than pure CNTs ([Formula: see text]). This work suggests a novel chemical approach to self-pressurization for generating new material configurations and modulating electron interactions.

Abstract
Spatially confining isolated atomic sites in low-dimensional nanostructures is a promising strategy for preparing high-performance single-atom catalysts (SACs). Herein, fascinating polyoxometalate cluster-based single-walled nanotubes (POM-SWNTs) with atomically precise structures, uniform diameter, and single-cluster wall thickness are constructed by lacunary POM clusters (PW11 and P2W17 clusters). Isolated metal centers are accurately incorporated into the PW11-SWNTs and P2W17-SWNTs supports. The structures of the resulting MPW11-SWNTs and MP2W17-SWNTs are well established (M = Cu, Pt). Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate the stability of POM-SWNTs. Furthermore, the turnover frequency of PtP2W17-SWNTs is 20 times higher than that of PtP2W17 cluster units and 140 times higher than that of Pt nanoparticles in the alcoholysis of dimethylphenylsilane. Theoretical studies indicate that incorporating a Pt atom into the P2W17 support induces straightforward electron transfer between them, combining the nanoconfined environment to enhance the catalytic activity of PtP2W17-SWNTs. This work shows the feasibility of using subnanometric POM clusters to assemble single-walled cluster nanotubes, highlighting their potential to prepare superior SACs with precise structures.

Abstract
An unresolved challenge in nanofluidics is tuning ion selectivity and hydrodynamic transport in pores, particularly for those with diameters larger than a nanometer. In contrast to conventional strategies that focus on changing surface functionalization or confinement degree by varying the radial dimension of the pores, we explore a unique approach for manipulating ion selectivity and hydrodynamic flow enhancement by externally coating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a few layers of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). For van der Waals heterostructured BN-SWCNTs, we observed a 9-fold increase in cation selectivity for K+ versus Cl- compared to pristine SWCNTs of the same 2.2 nm diameter, while hydrodynamic slip lengths decreased by more than an order of magnitude. These results suggest that the single-layer graphene inner surface may be translucent to charge-regulation and hydrodynamic-slip effects arising from h-BN on the outside of the SWCNT. Such 1D heterostructures could serve as synthetic platforms with tunable properties for exploring distinct nanofluidic phenomena and their potential applications.

Abstract
Polaritons in reduced-dimensional materials, such as nanowire, nanoribbon and rolled nanotube, usually provide novel avenues for manipulating electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. Here, we theoretically propose and study hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) with rolled one-dimensional molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) nanotube structure. We find that the HPhPs in rolled MoO3 nanotubes exhibit low propagation losses and tunable electromagnetic confinement along the rolled direction. By rolling the twisted bilayer MoO3, we successfully achieve a canalized phonon polaritons mode in the rolled nanotube, enabling their propagation in a spiraling manner along the nanotube. Our findings demonstrate the considerable potential of the rolled MoO3 nanotubes as promising platforms for various applications in light manipulation and nanophotonics circuits, including negative refraction, waveguiding and routing at the ultimate scale.

Abstract
The emergence of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures has led to precise and versatile methods of fabricating devices with atomic-scale accuracies. Hence, vdW heterostructures have shown much promise for technologies including photodetectors, photocatalysis, photovoltaic devices, ultrafast photonic devices, and field-effect transistors. These applications, however, remain confined to optical and suboptical regimes. Here, we theoretically show and experimentally demonstrate the use of vdW heterostructures as platforms for multicolor x-ray generation. By driving the vdW heterostructures with free electrons in a table-top setup, we generate x-ray photons whose output spectral profile can be user-customized via the heterostructure design and even controlled in real time. We show that the multicolor photon energies and their corresponding intensities can be tailored by varying the electron energy, the electron beam position, as well as the geometry and composition of the vdW heterostructure. Our results reveal the promise of vdW heterostructures in realizing highly versatile x-ray sources for emerging applications in advanced x-ray imaging and spectroscopy.

Abstract
Nanoconfinement of low-dimensional materials opens up a new territory for tailoring material hybridization to produce novel geometric structures for applications in electronics, catalysis, and photonics. Despite the progress made in the encapsulation of 2D materials, exploration of their definite crystal structures into lower-dimensional nanomaterials is still largely unexplored. Herein, one-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) nanowires with an aspect ratio of over 100 produced by confining BP into the CNT (conf-BP@CNT) are reported. Notably, the unique structure and dimensions of BP were determined by confinement within the CNT and were accurately characterized by crystallography. During the spatially confined growth, the defects and capillarity effect of the CNT promote nucleation and growth of BP within the CNT. conf-BP@CNT shows surface charge localization of conf-BP and protection rendered by the CNT shell, giving rise to more efficient and stable photocatalytic rhodamine B (RhB) degradation than the bare exfoliated BP nanosheets. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of nanoconfinement in producing nanomaterials with controllable dimensions, precise spatial arrangement, and unique structures.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanotubes exhibit unique physical properties due to their nanotube structures. The development of techniques for synthesizing TMDC nanotubes with controlled structures is very important for their science and applications. However, structural control efforts have been made only for the homostructures of TMDC nanotubes and not for their heterostructures that provide an important platform for their two-dimensional counterparts. In this study, we synthesized heterostructures of TMDC nanotubes, MoS2/WS2 heteronanotubes, and demonstrated a technique for controlling features of their structures, such as diameters, layer numbers, and crystallinity. The diameter of the heteronanotubes could be tuned with inner nanotube templates and was reduced by using small-diameter WS2 nanotubes. The layer number and crystallinity of the MoS2 outer wall could be controlled by controlling their precursors and synthesis temperatures, resulting in the formation of high-crystallinity TMDC heteronanotubes with specific chirality. This study can expand the research of van der Waals heterostructures.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) heterostructures have shown great potential in catalysis, magnetism, and nanofluidics, in which host SWCNTs with certain conductivity (metallic or semiconducting) are highly required. Herein, inspired by the large molecular weight and redox properties of polyoxometalate (POM) clusters, we reported the selective separation of POM encapsulated metallic SWCNTs (POM@m-SWCNTs) with a uniform diameter through density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU). The confined POMs increased the SWCNT density and amplified the nanotubes' density difference, thus greatly lowering the centrifugal force (70,000g) of DGU. With this strategy, a series of POM@m-SWCNTs of ∼1.2 nm with high purity were sorted. The mechanism supported by theoretical and experimental evidence showed that the separation of m-SWCNTs depended on not only nanotube/cluster size but also the conductivity of SWCNTs. The smallest 1.2 nm m-SWCNT that can exactly accommodate a 0.9 nm-{Mo6} cluster exhibited the maximum electron transfer to inner clusters; thus, intertube π-π stacking of such m-SWCNTs was greatly loosened, leading to the preferential dispersion into individual ones and partitioning in the uppermost layer after DGU. As a proof-of-concept application, this sorting strategy was extended to separate heavy-element 238U-encapsulated m-SWCNTs. The phase-pure, tiny (1-2.5 nm) U4O9 crystals with atomic vacancy clusters were fabricated on m-SWCNTs through growth kinetic control. This work may provide a general way to construct desired actinide materials on specific SWCNTs.

Abstract
We present the resonant Raman spectra of a single-wall carbon nanotube inside a multiwall boron nitride nanotube (SWNT@BNNT). At EL = 1.58 eV, SWNT@BNNT exhibited resonant Raman spectra at 807 (ωBN) and 804 cm-1 (ωGr). Their intensities almost disappeared at EL = 2.33 eV. We assigned ωBN to the out-of-plane BN phonon mode that coupled with ωGr. At EL = 4.66 eV, the G+ and G- bands of the SWNT@BNNT red-shifted 3.8 cm-1 compared with the SWNT, suggesting the interwall interactions between the in-plane modes of SWNT and BNNT. Moreover, the E2g mode of the BNNT in SWNT@BNNT appeared at 1370.3 ± 0.1 cm-1, which is undistinguishable for EL < 3 eV because of the overlap with the D band frequency. The assignment of the present Raman spectra was confirmed through the first-principles calculations.

Abstract
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an ideal 2D platform for studying a wide variety of electronic properties and potential applications due to their chemical diversity. Similarly, single-walled TMD nanotubes (SW-TMDNTs)-seamless cylinders of rolled-up TMD monolayers-are 1D materials that can exhibit tunable electronic properties depending on both their chirality and composition. However, much less has been explored about their geometrical structures and chemical variations due to their instability under ambient conditions. Here, the structural diversity of SW-TMDNTs templated by boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is reported. The outer surfaces and inner cavities of the BNNTs promote and stabilize the coaxial growth of SW-TMDNTs with various diameters, including few-nanometers-wide species. The chiral indices (n,m) of individual SW-MoS2 NTs are assigned by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and statistical analyses reveals a broad chirality distribution ranging from zigzag to armchair configurations. Furthermore, this methodology can be applied to the synthesis of various TMDNTs, such as selenides and alloyed Mo1- x Wx S2 . Comprehensive microscopic and spectroscopic analyses also suggest the partial formation of Janus MoS2(1- x ) Se2 x nanotubes. The BNNT-templated reaction provides a universal platform to characterize the chirality-dependent properties of 1D nanotubes with various electronic structures.

Abstract
Unusual behavior in solids emerges from the complex interplay between crystalline order, composition, and dimensionality. In crystals comprising weakly bound one-dimensional (1D) or quasi-1D (q-1D) chains, properties such as charge density waves, topologically protected states, and indirect-to-direct band gap crossovers have been predicted to arise. However, the experimental demonstration of many of these nascent physics in 1D or q-1D van der Waals (vdW) crystals is obscured by the highly anisotropic bonding between the chains, stochasticity of top-down exfoliation, and the lack of synthetic strategies to control bottom-up growth. Herein, we report the directed crystallization of a model q-1D vdW phase, Sb2S3, into dimensionally resolved nanostructures. We demonstrate the uncatalyzed growth of highly crystalline Sb2S3 nanowires, nanoribbons, and quasi-2D nanosheets with thicknesses in the range of 10 to 100 nm from the bottom-up crystallization of [Sb4S6]n chains. We found that dimensionally resolved nanostructures emerge from two distinct chemical vapor growth pathways defined by diverse covalent intrachain and anisotropic vdW interchain interactions and controlled precursor ratios in the vapor phase. At sub-100 nm nanostructure thicknesses, we observe the hardening of phonon modes, blue-shifting of optical band gaps, and the emergence of a new high-energy photoluminescence peak.

Abstract
The manipulation of edge configurations and structures in atomically-thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) for versatile functionalization has attracted intensive interest in recent years. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach has shown promise for TMD edge engineering of atomic edge configurations (1H, 1T or 1T'-zigzag or armchair edges) as well as diverse edge morphologies (1D nanoribbons, 2D dendrites, 3D spirals, etc.). These edge-rich TMD layers offer versatile candidates for probing the physical and chemical properties and exploring potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, sensing, and quantum technologies. In this Review, we present an overview of the current state-of-the-art in the manipulation of TMD atomic edges and edge-rich structures using CVD. We highlight the vast range of distinct properties associated with these edge configurations and structures and provide insights into the opportunities afforded by such edge-functionalized crystals. The objective of this Review is to motivate further research and development efforts to use CVD as a scalable approach to harness the benefits of such crystal-edge engineering.

Abstract
Identification of low-dimensional structural units from the bulk atomic structure is a widely used approach for discovering new low-dimensional materials with new properties and applications. Such analysis is usually based solely on bond-length heuristics, whereas an analysis based on bond strengths would be physically more justified. Here, we study dimensionality classification based on the interatomic force constants of a structure with different approaches for selecting the bonded atoms. The implemented approaches are applied to the existing database of first-principles calculated force constants with a large variety of materials, and the results are analyzed by comparing them to those of several bond-length-based classification methods. Depending on the approach, they can either reproduce results from bond-length-based methods or provide complementary information. As an example of the latter, we managed to identify new non-van der Waals two-dimensional material candidates.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are anticipated to leverage for high-performance, giant polarized, and hybrid-dimension photodetection owing to their dangling-bond free surface, intrinsic crystal structure, and weak vdW interaction. However, only a few related explorations have been conducted, especially in the field of flexible and integrated applications. Here, high-quality 1D vdW GePdS3 nanowires were synthesized and proven to be an n-type semiconductor. The Raman vibration and band gap (1.37-1.68 eV, varying from bulk to single chain) of GePdS3 were systemically studied by experimental and theoretical methods. The photodetector based on a single GePdS3 nanowire possesses fast photoresponse at a broadband spectrum of 254-1550 nm. The highest responsivity and detectivity reach up to ∼219 A/W and ∼2.7 × 1010 Jones (under 254 nm light illumination), respectively. Furthermore, an image sensor with 6 × 6 pixels based on GePdS3 nanowires is integrated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and exhibits sensitive and homogeneous detection at 808 nm light. These results indicate that the ternary noble metal chalcogenides show great potential in flexible and broadband optoelectronics applications.

Abstract
Tungsten and molybdenum carbides have shown great potential in catalysis and superconductivity. However, the synthesis of ultrathin W/Mo carbides with a controlled dimension and unique structure is still difficult. Here, inspired by the host-guest assembly strategy with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as a transparent template, we reported the synthesis of ultrathin (0.8-2.0 nm) W2C and Mo2C nanowires confined in SWCNTs deriving from the encapsulated W/Mo polyoxometalate clusters. The atom-resolved electron microscope combined with spectroscopy and theoretical calculations revealed that the strong interaction between the highly carbophilic W/Mo and SWCNT resulted in the anisotropic growth of carbide nanowires along a specific crystal direction, accompanied by lattice strain and electron donation to the SWCNTs. The SWCNT template endowed carbides with resistance to H2O corrosion. Different from normal modification on the outer surface of SWCNTs, such M2C@SWCNTs (M = W, Mo) provided a delocalized and electron-enriched SWCNT surface to uniformly construct the negatively charged Pd catalyst, which was demonstrated to inhibit the formation of active PdHx hydride and thus achieve highly selective semihydrogenation of a series of alkynes. This work could provide a nondestructive way to design the electron-delocalized SWCNT surface and expand the methodology in synthesizing unusual 1D ultrathin carbophilic-metal nanowires (e.g., TaC, NbC, β-W) with precise control of the anisotropy in SWCNT arrays.

Abstract
The shaping of matter into desired nanometric structures with on-demand functionalities can enhance the miniaturization of devices in nanotechnology. Herein, strong light-matter interaction was used as an optical lithographic tool to tailor two-dimensional (2D) matter into nanoscale architectures. We transformed 2D black phosphorus (BP) into ultrafine, well-defined, beyond-diffraction-limit nanostructures of ten times smaller size and a hundred times smaller spacing than the incident, femtosecond-pulsed light wavelength. Consequently, nanoribbons and nanocubes/cuboids scaling tens of nanometers were formed by the structured ablation along the extremely confined periodic light fields originating from modulation instability, the tailoring process of which was visualized in real time via light-coupled in situ transmission electron microscopy. The current findings on the controllable nanoscale shaping of BP will enable exotic physical phenomena and further advance the optical lithographic techniques for 2D materials.

Abstract
Indium selenides (InxSey) have been shown to retain several desirable properties, such as ferroelectricity, tunable photoluminescence through temperature-controlled phase changes, and high electron mobility when confined to two dimensions (2D). In this work we synthesize single-layer, ultrathin, subnanometer-wide InxSey by templated growth inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Despite the complex polymorphism of InxSey we show that the phase of the encapsulated material can be identified through comparison of experimental aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (AC-TEM) images and AC-TEM simulations of known structures of InxSey. We show that, by altering synthesis conditions, one of two different stoichiometries of sub-nm InxSey, namely InSe or β-In2Se3, can be prepared. Additionally, in situ AC-TEM heating experiments reveal that encapsulated β-In2Se3 undergoes a phase change to γ-In2Se3 above 400 °C. Further analysis of the encapsulated species is performed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Raman spectroscopy, corroborating the identities of the encapsulated species. These materials could provide a platform for ultrathin, subnanometer-wide phase-change nanoribbons with applications as nanoelectronic components.

Abstract
The mechanical and thermal properties of a hybrid nanotube consisting of a coaxial carbon nanotube (CNT) inside a graphyne nanotube (GNT), i.e., CNT@GNT, are investigated in this paper by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the mechanical properties of CNT@GNT under uniaxial tension depend on the nanotube chirality of its components. Specifically, the Young's modulus of the CNT@GNT structure with an inner zigzag CNT is larger than that of its counterpart with an armchair CNT, while CNT@GNT with an armchair CNT and a zigzag GNT is found to possess the largest tensile strength and fracture strain. In addition, a unique fracture behavior of the successive rupture of its two components is observed in CNT@GNT. The thermal conductivity of CNT@GNT is found to be almost independent of the nanotube chirality of its components but increases as the length and diameter of the CNT@GNT increase. Moreover, strain engineering is shown as an effective avenue to modulate the thermal conductivity of CNT@GNT, which can be enhanced by tension but reduced by compression. The analysis of the phonon spectrum and spectral energy density demonstrates that this strain effect originates from changes of the phonon group velocity and phonon scattering in the strained CNT@GNT.

Abstract
As a combination concept of a 2D material and a superlattice, two-dimensional superlattices (2DSs) have attracted increasing attention recently. The natural advantages of 2D materials in their properties, dimension, diversity and compatibility, and their gradually improved technologies for preparation and device fabrication serve as solid foundations for the development of 2DSs. Compared with the existing 2D materials and even their heterostructures, 2DSs relate to more materials and elaborate architectures, leading to novel systems with more degrees of freedom to modulate material properties at the nanoscale. Here, three typical types of 2DSs, including the component, strain-induced and moiré superlattices, are reviewed. The preparation methods, properties and state-of-the-art applications of each type are summarized. An outlook of the challenges and future developments is also presented. We hope that this work can provide a reference for the development of 2DS-related research.

Abstract
As an important branch of anisotropic nanohybrids (ANHs) with multiple surfaces and functions, the porous ANHs (p-ANHs) have attracted extensive attentions because of the unique characteristics of high surface area, tunable pore structures and controllable framework compositions, etc. However, due to the large surface-chemistry and lattice mismatches between the crystalline and amorphous porous nanomaterials, the site-specific anisotropic assembly of amorphous subunits on crystalline host is challenging. Here, we report a selective occupation strategy to achieve site-specific anisotropic growth of amorphous mesoporous subunits on crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF). The amorphous polydopamine (mPDA) building blocks can be controllably grown on the {100} (type 1) or {110} (type 2) facets of crystalline ZIF-8 to form the binary super-structured p-ANHs. Based on the secondary epitaxial growth of tertiary MOF building blocks on type 1 and 2 nanostructures, the ternary p-ANHs with controllable compositions and architectures are also rationally synthesized (type 3 and 4). These intricate and unprecedented superstructures provide a good platform for the construction of nanocomposites with multiple functionalities and understanding of the structure-property-function relationships.

Abstract
The nanotube/dielectric interface plays an essential role in achieving superb switching characteristics of carbon nanotube-based transistors for energy-efficient computation. Formation of van der Waals heterostructures with hexagonal boron nitride nanotubes could be an effective means to reduce interface state density, but the need for isolating nanotubes during the formation of coaxial outer layers has hindered the fabrication of their horizontal arrays. Here, we develop a strategy to create isolated heterostructure arrays using aligned carbon nanotubes grown on a quartz substrate as starting materials. Air-suspended arrays of carbon nanotubes are prepared by a dry transfer technique and then used as templates for the coaxial wrapping of boron nitride nanotubes. We then fabricate the transistors, where boron nitride serves as interfacial layers between carbon nanotube channels and conventional gate dielectrics, showing hysteresis-free characteristics owing to the improved interfaces. We have also gained a deeper understanding of the strain applied on inner carbon nanotubes, as well as the inhomogeneity of the outer coating, by characterizing individual heterostructures over trenches and on a substrate surface. The device fabrication and characterization presented here essentially do not require elaborate electron microscopy, thus paving the way for the practical use of one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures for nanoelectronics.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube-based derivatives have attracted considerable research interest due to their unique structure and fascinating physicochemical properties. However, the controlled growth mechanism of these derivatives remains unclear, and the synthesis efficiency is low. Herein, we proposed a defect-induced strategy for the efficient heteroepitaxial growth of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)@hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) films. Air plasma treatment was first performed to generate defects on the wall of SWCNTs. Then, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition was conducted to grow h-BN on the surface of SWCNTs. Controlled experiments combined with first-principles calculations revealed that the induced defects on the wall of SWCNTs function as nucleation sites for the efficient heteroepitaxial growth of h-BN.

Abstract
Van der Waals semiconductors have been really confirmed in two-dimensional (2D) layered systems beyond the traditional limits of lattice-matching requirements. The extension of this concept to the 1D atomic level may generate intriguing physical functionalities due to its non-covalent bonding surface. However, whether the curvature of the lattice in such rolled-up structures affects their optoelectronic features or the performance of devices established on them remains an open question. Here, MoS2-based nanoscrolls were obtained by virtue of an alkaline solution-assisted method and the 0D/1D (BaTiO3/MoS2) strategy to tune their optoelectronic properties and improve the light sensing performance was explored. The capillary force generated by a drop of NaHCO3 solution could drive the delamination of nanosheets from the underlying substrate and a spontaneous rolling-up process. The package of BaTiO3 particles in MoS2 nanoscrolls has been evident by TEM image, and the optical characterizations were mirrored via micro-Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence. These bare MoS2 nanoscrolls reveal a reduced photoresponse compared to the plane structures due to the curvature of the lattice. However, such BaTiO3/MoS2 nanoscrolls exhibit a significantly improved photodetection (Rhybrid = 73.9 A/W vs Ronly = 1.1 A/W and R2D = 1.5 A/W at 470 nm, 0.58 mW·cm-2), potentially due to the carrier extraction/injection occurring between BaTiO3 and MoS2. This study thereby provides an insight into 1D van der Waals material community and demonstrates a general approach to fabricate high-performance 1D van der Waals optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The ability to control the assembly of mixed-dimensional heterostructures with nanoscale control is key for the fabrication of novel nanohybrid systems with new functionalities, particularly for optoelectronics applications. Herein we report a strategy to control the assembly of heterostructures and tune their electronic coupling employing DNA as a linker. We functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) with biotin-terminated dsDNA employing three different chemical strategies, namely, thiol, maleimide, and aryl diazonium. This allowed us to then tether streptavidinated quantum dots (QDs) to the DNA functionalized MoS2 surface via biotin-avidin recognition. Nanoscale control over the separation between QDs and NSs was achieved by varying the number of base pairs (bp) constituting the DNA linker, between 10, 20, and 30 bp, corresponding to separations of 3.4, 6.8, and 13.6 nm, respectively. Spectroscopic data confirmed the successful functionalization, while atomic force and transmission electron microscopy were employed to image the nanohybrids. In solution steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence demonstrated the electronic coupling between the two nanostructures, that in turn was observed to progressively scale as a function of DNA linker employed and hence distance between the two nanomoieties in the hybrids.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) van der Waals (vdW) 1D heterostructures are recently synthesized from 2D nanosheets, which open up new opportunities for potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. The most recent and promising strategies in regards to forming 1D TMDs nanotubes (NTs) or nanoscrolls (NSs) in this review article as well as their heterostructures that are produced from 2D TMDs are summarized. In order to improve the functionality of ultrathin 1D TMDs that are coaxially combined with boron nitride nanotubes and single-walled carbon nanotubes. 1D heterostructured devices perform better than 2D TMD nanosheets when the two devices are compared. The photovoltaic effect in WS2 or MoS2 NTs without a junction may exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit for the above-band-gap photovoltage generation. Photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution is accelerated when monolayer WS2 or MoS2 NSs are incorporated into a heterojunction. In addition, the photovoltaic performance of the WSe2 /MoS2 NSs junction is superior to that of the performance of MoS2 NSs. The summary of the current research about 1D TMDs can be used in a variety of ways, which assists in the development of new types of nanoscale optoelectronic devices. Finally, it also summarizes the current challenges and prospects.

Abstract
Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature. Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought inspiration from nature when designing and fabricating hierarchical matter. More and more, however, nature's own high-information content building blocks, proteins, peptides, and peptidomimetics, are being coopted to build hierarchy because the information that determines structure, function, and interfacial interactions can be readily encoded in these versatile macromolecules. Here, we take stock of recent progress in the rational design and characterization of hierarchical materials produced from high-information content blocks with a focus on stimuli-responsive and "smart" architectures. We also review advances in the use of computational simulations and data-driven predictions to shed light on how the side chain chemistry and conformational flexibility of macromolecular blocks drive the emergence of order and the acquisition of hierarchy and also on how ionic, solvent, and surface effects influence the outcomes of assembly. Continued progress in the above areas will ultimately usher in an era where an understanding of designed interactions, surface effects, and solution conditions can be harnessed to achieve predictive materials synthesis across scale and drive emergent phenomena in the self-assembly and reconfiguration of high-information content building blocks.

Abstract
The one-dimensional van der Waals (1D vdW) material fibrous red phosphorus (FRP) nanotubes are a promising direct-bandgap semiconductor with high carrier mobility and anisotropic optical responses because of low deformation potential and dangling-bond-free anisotropic interface. Employing first-principles calculations, we captured the potential of 1D FRP nanotubes. The thermal stability of 1D FRP nanotubes was confirmed by phonon calculation. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy indicated the strong vibration mode (366 cm-1) is along the phosphorus nanotube. Interestingly, spatial anisotropy bandgaps were found along with various stacking orientations. The charge transport calculations showed that the 1D FRP nanotube has a high hole mobility (499.2 cm2 V-1 s-1), considering the weak acoustic phonon scattering. More importantly, we found that the hole mobility changes dramatically (down to 7.1 cm2 V-1 s-1) under the strain, and the strain-dependent charge transport property of 1D FRP nanotubes could be considered to have many potential applications for electronics, optoelectronics, and switching devices.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) possess a broad range of applications because of several engineering-relevant properties, including high specific strength and stiffness, thermal stability, and transparency to visible light. The morphology of these nanoscale fibers must be controlled to maximize such properties, which can be achieved by synthesizing long aligned arrays of crystalline hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanotubes. Herein, we synthesize high-quality millimeter length, vertically aligned (VA-) BNNTs using free-standing carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays as scaffolds. In addition to high optical transparency of the VA-BNNTs, we also demonstrate several micro- and macrostructures of BNNTs via patterning and/or postprocessing of the arrays, including engineering of either disconnected or interconnected tubes in VA-, horizontally aligned (HA-), or coherently buckled BNNTs. The internanotube spacings and interconnections between aligned BNNT can thus be tailored to create BN macrostructures with complex shapes and advantaged morphologies for hierarchical materials and devices.

Abstract
Single-wall carbon nanotubes in boron nitride (SWCNT@BN) are one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures that exhibit intriguing physical and chemical properties. As with their carbon nanotube counterparts, these heterostructures can form from different combinations of chiralities, providing rich structures but also posing a significant synthetic challenge to controlling their structure. Enabled by advances in nanotube chirality sorting, clean removal of the surfactant used for solution processing, and a simple method to fabricate free-standing submonolayer films of chirality pure SWCNTs as templates for the BN growth, we show it is possible to directly grow BN on chirality enriched SWCNTs from solution processing to form van der Waals heterostructures. We further report factors affecting the heterostructure formation, including an accelerated growth rate in the presence of H2, and significantly improved crystallization of the grown BN, with the BN thickness controlled down to one single BN layer, through the presence of a Cu foil in the reactor. Transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopic mapping confirm the synthesis of SWCNT@BN from the solution purified nanotubes. The photoluminescence peaks of both (7,5)- and (8,4)-SWCNT@BN heterostructures are found to redshift (by ∼10 nm) relative to the bare SWCNTs. Raman scattering suggests that the grown BN shells pose a confinement effect on the SWCNT core.

Abstract
The growth of copper sulfide (Cu x S) nanoribbons, a class of Cu x S nanomaterials, was achieved by the aggregation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via a dialysis process. The obtained nanoribbon structure and its constituent elements on a film of SWCNT aggregates were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmittance electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The subsequently obtained TEM images and Raman spectra revealed that nucleus synthesis and subsequent growth of Cu x S nanoribbons occurred during the aggregation of SWCNTs. The growth procedure described in this work provides an approach for the wet chemical synthesis of metal sulfide nanomaterials.

Abstract
Rolling two-dimensional (2D) materials into 1D nanotubes allows for greater functionality. Boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) can serve as insulating 1D templates for the coaxial growth of guest nanotubes, without interfering with property characterization. However, their application as 1D templates has been greatly hindered by their poor dispersibility, inevitably resulting in the formation of thick bundles. Here we present the facile preparation of well-dispersed BNNT templates via surfactant dispersions and synthesis of 1D van der Waals heterostructures based on the BNNTs. Comprehensive microscopic analyses show the isolation of clean, high-quality BNNTs. Statistical analyses revealed that small-diameter double-walled BNNTs are highly enriched by chemical peeling of BN sidewalls through the sonication process. We further demonstrate that the isolated BNNTs can template the coaxial growth of carbon and MoS2 nanotubes by using chemical vapor deposition. The present strategy can be applied to the synthesis of a variety of nanotubes, thereby allowing for their characterization.

Abstract
Precise diagnosis of the boundary and grade of tumors is especially important for surgical dissection. Recently, visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) absorption differences of tumors are demonstrated for a precise tumor diagnosis. Here, a template-assisted sequential printing strategy is investigated to construct lateral heterostructured Vis-NIR photodetectors, relying on the up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)/perovskite arrays. Under the sequential printing process, the synergistic effect and co-confinement are demonstrated to induce the UCNPs to cover both sides of the perovskite microwire. The side-wrapped lateral heterogeneous UCNPs/perovskite structure exhibits more satisfactory responsiveness to Vis-NIR light than the common fully wrapped structure, due to sufficient visible-light-harvesting ability. The Vis-NIR photodetectors with R reaching 150 mA W-1 at 980 nm and 1084 A W-1 at 450 nm are employed for the rapid classification of glioma. The detection accuracy rate of 99.3% is achieved through a multimodal analysis covering the Vis-NIR light, which provides a reliable basis for glioma grade diagnosis. This work provides a concrete example for the application of photodetectors in tumor detection and surgical diagnosis.
