Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets exfoliated in the liquid phase are of significant interest owing to their potential for scalable and flexible photoelectronic applications. Although various dispersants such as surfactants, oligomers, and polymers are used to obtain highly exfoliated TMD nanosheets, most of them are electrically insulating and need to be removed; otherwise, the photoelectric properties of the TMD nanosheets degrade. Here, inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) of CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, or I) are presented as non-destructive dispersants capable of dispersing TMD nanosheets in the liquid phase and enhancing the photodetection properties of the nanosheets, thus eliminating the need to remove the dispersant. MoSe nanosheets dispersed in the liquid phase are adsorbed with CsPbCl NCs. The CsPbCl nanocrystals on MoSe efficiently withdraw electrons from the nanosheets, and suppress the dark current of the MoSe nanosheets, leading to flexible near-infrared MoSe photodetectors with a high ON/OFF photocurrent ratio and detectivity. Moreover, lanthanide ion-doped CsPbCl NCs enhance the ON/OFF current ratio to >10 . Meanwhile, the dispersion stability of the MoSe nanosheets exfoliated with the perovskite NCs is sufficiently high.

Photoconductivity is an important feature of semiconductors that finds major attention in the fields of solar cells, hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, and photodetectors. This feature involves a change of density of charge carriers induced by light, which is dependent on the generation of light-induced carriers and the recombination of excitons. This phenomenon has been observed in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) since 2010; however, when printing such materials on flexible substrates, they form networks that would exhibit distinct transport characteristics compared to isolated TMDs crystals.

Nanowires composed of a 1:1 stoichiometry of transition metals and chalcogen ions can be fabricated from two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by using electron beam irradiation. Wires fabricated through in situ experiments can be geometrically connected to TMD sheets in various ways, and their physical properties can vary accordingly. Understanding the structural transformation caused by electron beams is critical for designing wire-sheet structures for nanoelectronics.

The construction of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) heterojunctions for high-performance gas sensors has garnered significant attention due to their capacity to operate at low temperatures. Herein, we realize two-dimensional (2D) WS nanosheets in situ grown on one-dimensional (1D) InO nanofibers to form heterostructures for formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensors. Capitalizing on the p-n heterojunctions formed between WS and InO, coupled with the high surface-to-volume ratio characteristic of 1D nanostructures, the WS/InO NFs sensor demonstrated an elevated gas response of 12.

In this work, we successfully demonstrated a MoSe@SnO nanocomposite-based room temperature HS gas sensor. A sensing mechanism was proposed based on experimental results and density functional theory calculations. The FESEM micrographs of the heterostructure formed by hydrothermally grown MoSe-layered nanosheets and SnO-hollow nanofiber result in a high surface area for HS gas adsorption.
