The electrocatalytic activity concerning the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of micrometer-sized MoS layers transferred on a glassy carbon surface was evaluated by scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) in a high-throughput approach. Multiple areas on single or multiple MoS layers were assessed using a hopping mode nanocapillary positioning with a hopping distance of 500 nm and a nanopipette size of around 55 nm. The locally recorded linear sweep voltammograms revealed a high lateral heterogeneity over the MoS sheet regarding their HER activity, with currents between -40 and -60 pA recorded at -0.89 V vs. reversible hygrogen electrode over about 4400 different measured areas on the MoS sheet. Stacked MoS layers did not show different electrocatalytic activity than the single MoS sheet, suggesting that the interlayer resistance influences the electrocatalytic activity less than the resistances induced by possible polymer residues or water layers formed between the transferred MoS sheet and the glassy carbon electrode.

One of the primary challenges in commercializing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is achieving both high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and sufficient stability. We integrate wafer-scale continuous monolayer MoS buffers at the top and bottom of a perovskite layer through a transfer process. These films physically block ion migration of perovskite into carrier transport layers and chemically stabilize the formamidinium lead iodide phase through strong coordination interaction.

MoS, one of the most researched two-dimensional semiconductor materials, has great potential as the channel material in dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) due to the low leakage current inherited from the atomically thin thickness, high band gap, and heavy effective mass. In this work, we fabricate one-transistor-one-capacitor (1T1C) DRAM using chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown monolayer (ML) MoS in large area and confirm the ultralow leakage current of approximately 10 A/μm, significantly lower than the previous report (10 A/μm) in two-transistor-zero-capacitor (2T0C) DRAM based on a few-layer MoS flake. Through rigorous analysis of leakage current considering thermionic emission, tunneling at the source/drain, Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, and trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) current, the TAT current is identified as the primary source of leakage current.

Increasing attention to sustainability and cost-effectiveness in energy storage sector has catalyzed the rise of rechargeable Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, finding replacement for limited cycle-life Zn-anode is a major challenge. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS), an insertion-type 2D layered material, has shown promising characteristics as a ZIB anode.

(AlO)(HfO) films with varying compositions were deposited on silicon substrates via plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors were fabricated. The impact of varying induced Al content on the dielectric properties of HfO was examined through electrical measurements. The results showed that increasing Al content raised the flat-band voltage, reduced the interface state density (D), and significantly lowered the leakage current at a given voltage.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of high-k dielectric films on MoS channels can lead to inadvertent remote electron doping of channels owing to nonequilibrium ALD conditions, such as the low temperatures and short purge times required for pinhole-free coating, as well as the weak physical adsorption of ALD precursors on MoS. In this study, we propose the application of a simple and effective HO vapor post-treatment (HO PT) at 100 °C immediately after complete integration of bottom- and top-gate monolayer MoS field-effect transistors (FETs), to address the inadvertent channel doping effect. When HO PT was applied to bottom-gate monolayer MoS FETs with an ALD-AlO passivation layer, the mitigation of channel doping was confirmed through electrical and optical measurements.
