The effect of MoS nanosheet (NS) decoration on the gas-sensing properties of SnO nanofibers (NFs) was investigated. The decorated sensors were fabricated by facile on-chip electrospinning technique and subsequently dropping MoS NSs-dispersed solution. The MoS NS decoration resulted in enhanced the response and reduced the operating temperature of SnO NFs towards SO gas. The SnO NF sensor decorated with the optimum density of MoS NSs exhibited about 10-fold enhancement in gas response to 10 ppm SO at 150 °C as compared with the bare SnO NF sensor. Furthermore, the decorated sensors exhibited an extremely low detection limit and good selectivity for SO gas against other interfering gases, such as CO, NH, and H. The enhanced SO gas-sensing performance of MoS NSs-decorated SnO NFs was attributed to the chemical sensitization of MoS NSs and charge transfer through heterojunctions between the NSs and SnO nanograins. The classification of toxic gases such as CO, H and NH by the MoS NSs-decorated SnO NF sensors can achieve high accuracy with linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Our results suggest that the one-dimensional nanostructures of semiconductor metal oxides decorated with two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are attractive candidates for the detection of hazardous gases.

Recent advances have uncovered an exotic sliding ferroelectric mechanism, which endows to design atomically thin ferroelectrics from non-ferroelectric parent monolayers. Although notable progress has been witnessed in understanding the fundamental properties, functional devices based on sliding ferroelectrics remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate the rewritable, non-volatile memories at room-temperature with a two-dimensional (2D) sliding ferroelectric semiconductor of rhombohedral-stacked bilayer MoS.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, combining remarkable electrical properties and mechanical flexibility, offer fascinating opportunities for flexible integrated circuits (ICs). Despite notable progress, so far the showcased 2D flexible ICs have been constrained to basic logic gates and ring oscillators with a maximum integration scale of a few thin film transistors (TFTs), creating a significant disparity in terms of circuit scale and functionality. Here, we demonstrate medium-scale flexible ICs integrating both combinational and sequential elements based on 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS).

As the feature size of microelectronic circuits is scaling down to nanometer order, the increasing interconnect crosstalk, resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption can limit the chip performance and reliability. To address these challenges, new low-k dielectric (k < 2) materials need to be developed to replace current silicon dioxide (k = 3.9) or SiCOH, etc.

Incipient ferroelectricity bridges traditional dielectrics and true ferroelectrics, enabling advanced electronic and memory devices. Firstly, we report incipient ferroelectricity in freestanding SrTiO nanomembranes integrated with monolayer MoS to create multifunctional devices, demonstrating stable ferroelectric order at low temperatures for cryogenic memory devices. Our observation includes ultra-fast polarization switching (~10 ns), low switching voltage (<6 V), over 10 years of nonvolatile retention, 100,000 endurance cycles, and 32 conductance states (5-bit memory) in SrTiO-gated MoS transistors at 15 K and up to 100 K.

Ultrasmall-scale semiconductor devices (≤5 nm) are advancing technologies, such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. However, the further scaling of these devices poses critical challenges, such as interface properties and oxide quality, particularly at the high-/semiconductor interface in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. Existing interlayer (IL) methods, typically exceeding 1 nm thickness, are unsuitable for ultrasmall-scale devices.
