Excellent Mechanical Performance of Cellulose Composite Papers for Flexible Self-Powered Photodetectors Using the ZnO/PbS Heterojunction.

Cellulose is attracting considerable attention in the field of flexible electronics due to its unique properties and environmental sustainability, particularly as a substrate for flexible devices. Flexible photodetectors are an integral part of cellulose-based devices and have become essential in optical communication, heart rate monitoring, and imaging systems. The performance and adaptability of these photodetectors depend significantly on the quality of the flexible substrates.

Vanadium Metal Doping of Monolayer MoS for p-Type Transistors and Fast-Speed Phototransistors.

Modulating the electrical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials is a fundamental prerequisite for their development to advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. Substitutional doping has been demonstrated as an effective method for tuning the band structure in monolayer 2D materials. Here, we demonstrate a facile selective-area growth of vanadium-doped molybdenum disulfide (V-doped MoS) flakes via pre-patterned vanadium-metal-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

Low-threshold AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet laser enabled by a nanoporous cladding layer.

We demonstrated an AlGaN-based multiple-quantum-well (MQW) deep ultraviolet (DUV) laser at 278 nm using a nanoporous (NP) n-AlGaN as the bottom cladding layer grown on the sapphire substrate. The laser has a very-low-threshold optically pumped power density of 79 kW/cm at room temperature and a transverse electric (TE)-polarization-dominant emission. The high optical confinement factor of 9.
