Abstract

2D materials are a promising new class of materials for next generation optoelectronic devices owing to their appealing optical and electrical properties. Pristine molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is widely used in next generation photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices, but its low photo-dark current ratio prevents its use in highly efficient photo detection applications. Here, we decorated crumpled reduced graphene oxide (rGO) particles on a large-area vertically aligned MoS2 flake network to enhance the performance of the MoS2-based photodetector by forming multiple nanoscale p-n heterojunctions. The rGO/MoS2 device exhibited a significantly improved photoresponsivity of ∼2.10 A W-1 along with a good detectivity of ∼5 × 1011 Jones (Jones = cm Hz1/2/W) compared to that of the pristine MoS2 photodetector in ambient atmosphere. Moreover, the rGO/MoS2 photodetector showed a fast response of ∼18 ms with excellent stability and reproducibility in ambient air even after three months. The high performance of the photodetector is attributed to enhanced photoexcited carrier density and suppressed photo generated electron-hole recombination due to the strong local built-in electric field developed at the rGO/MoS2 interface. Our results show...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
