Two-dimensional rhenium disulfide (ReS) and rhenium diselenide (ReSe) have gained popularity due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties. However, their mechanical behavior has not been investigated experimentally and many of their mechanical parameters are still unexplored. Here we conducted atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation experiments and extracted their Young's moduli and found that it is thickness-independent. In addition, we found that both materials are capable of sustaining large pretension. Importantly, fracture tests showed that these materials exhibit exceptionally large fracture strength (32.9 ± 2.4 GPa and 27.7 ± 3.9 GPa for ReS and ReSe, respectively) and stretchability (up to 24.2% for ReS and 23.0% for ReSe). Therefore, this study shows the superior mechanical properties of ReS and ReSe. Thus, it will open the path for their future integration into advanced applications that will benefit from their outstanding mechanical durability and attractive optoelectronic properties, such as flexible photodetectors, stretchable photonic devices, and strain-engineered electronics.

Ultrafast charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures can effectively engineer the optical and electrical properties of two-dimensional semiconductors for designing photonic and optoelectronic devices. However, the nonlinear absorption conversion dynamics with the pump intensity and the underlying physical mechanisms in a type-II heterostructure remain largely unexplored, yet hold considerable potential for all-optical logic gates. Herein, two-dimensional ReSe/ReS heterostructure is designed to realize an unusual transition from reverse saturable absorption to saturable absorption (SA) with a conversion pump intensity threshold of approximately 170 GW/cm.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered significant attention as efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their high activity, stability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the development of a convenient and economical approach for large-scale HER applications remains a persistent challenge. In this study, we present the successful synthesis of TMD nanoparticles (including MoS, RuS, ReS, MoSe, RuSe, and ReSe) using a general colloidal method at room temperature.

Chiral materials possess broken inversion and mirror symmetry and show great potential in the application of next-generation optic, electronic, and spintronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) chiral crystals have planar chirality, which is nonsuperimposable on their 2D enantiomers by any rotation about the axis perpendicular to the substrate. The degree of freedom to construct vertical stacking of 2D monolayer enantiomers offers the possibility of chiral manipulation for designed properties by creating multilayers with either a racemic or enantiomerically pure stacking order.
