Synthetic strategies for 2D van der Waals heterostructures (IMAGE)
Caption
In this article, the current state of the art in fabricating strategies of van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) will be first summarized, including physical combination, deposition, solvothermal synthesis, and synchronous evolution. Three major applications and their representative vdWH devices will then be illustrated, including electronics (tunneling field effect transistors and 2D contact), optoelectronics (photodetector), and energy conversion (electrocatalysts and metal ion batteries). Furthermore, moiré superlattices, as the representative of novel physical phenomena, will be demonstrated to show the importance of vdWHs in the fundamental study. Finally, the potential opportunities and the crucial challenges towards the fabrication and applications of vdWHs will be discussed.
