Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as tungsten diselenide (WSe), are expected to be used in next-generation optoelectronic devices due to their unique properties. In this study, we developed a simple method of using ethanol to scroll monolayer WSe nanosheets into nanoscrolls. These nanoscrolls have a quasi-one-dimensional structure, which enhances their electronic and optical properties. The characterization confirmed their unique structure, and the photodetectors made of these nanoscrolls have high sensitivity to polarized light, with anisotropy ratios of 1.3 and 1.7 at wavelengths of 638 nm and 808 nm. The enhanced light response is attributed to the large surface area and quantum wire-like behavior of the nanoscrolls, making them suitable for advanced polarization-sensitive devices.

Rolling up two-dimensional (2D) materials can form quasi-one-dimensional nanoscrolls, which are expected to have novel properties due to their larger space of structural parameters. In this Letter, the structural dependence of formation energy was investigated based on more than 90 different graphene nanoscrolls (GNSs) through calculations. A quantified relationship between formation energy and structural parameters is discovered, which could provide universal description of rolling up 2D materials beyond graphene.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their derived quasi one-dimensional structure provide incredible possibilities for the field of photoelectric detection due to their intrinsic optical and electrical properties. However, the photogenerated carriers in atomically thin media are poor due to the low optical absorption, which greatly limits their performance. Here, in the MoS nanoscroll photodetector, we meticulously investigated the avalanche multiplication effect.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials with strong in-plane chemical bonds and weak interaction in the out-of-plane direction have been acknowledged as a basic building block for designing dimensional materials in 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D forms. Compared to the explosive research on 2D vdW materials, quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) vdW materials have received rare attention, despite the fact that they also present rich physics in electronics and engineering implications. Herein, quasi-1D MoS2 nanoscrolls are directly fabricated from CVD-grown 2D triangular MoS2 sheets.
