Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications Based on ReS₂

Abstract

With continuous research into two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a great number of high‐performance devices are emerging due to the unique structures and versatile properties of TMDs. As a representative of the group‐VII TMDs, rhenium disulfide (ReS2) has attracted increasing attention because the distorted octahedral crystal structure makes it distinctive from more widely known TMDs members, such as MoS2 and WSe2. It features layer‐independent electrical and anisotropic optical properties which are suitable for the applications of field effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors. This review focuses on the recent research work about the electronic and optoelectronic applications based on novel 2D ReS2. In the first part, the unique crystal structures and properties are introduced. This is followed by the various preparation methods. Next, high‐performance FETs and photodetectors based on ReS2 are presented. Finally, conclusions are drawn and prospects proposed.

Interaction of VSe2 with Ambient Gases: Stability and Chemical Reactivity

“…Vanadium diselenide (VSe 2 ), in the family of transition‐metal dichalcogenides, is triggering the interest of the scientific community due to several recent discoveries, including in‐plane piezoelectricity, a pseudogap with Fermi arc at temperatures above the charge‐density‐wave (CDW) transition temperature (≈220 K in the monolayer), and, especially, the emergence of room‐temperature ferromagnetism …”

Two-dimensional ReS2 : Solution to the unresolved queries on its structure and inter-layer coupling leading to potential optical applications

“…Few-layered ReS 2 had shown a reasonable photo-response, stimulating a panoply of applications in photodetectors [2][3][4], phototransistors [5], logic circuits [6][7][8], photocatalysis [9,10], and so on. ReS 2 differs from the common TMDC systems by virtue of its strongly anisotropic polarization-dependent optical [11][12][13][14][15][16], excitonic [17][18][19][20], and thermal responses [2,[21][22][23], originating from its lower intra-plane symmetries in the distorted 1T structural format.…”

Recent Progress in Anisotropic 2D Semiconductors: From Material Properties to Photoelectric Detection

“…Atomically thin 2D‐layered TMDs with sandwich lattice structure such as ReS 2 and ReSe 2 have been studied extensively in recent years due to their intriguing physical properties and promising applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. [ 2,63,95 ] Figure 4d shows the Raman spectrum of angle‐dependent of mode V (411 cm −1 ) in the 4L ReS 2 with different angles at 532 nm excitation wavelength on Si/SiO 2 substrates. The black, red, and blue lines represent the Raman intensity of unpolarized, parallel‐polarized, and cross‐polarized, respectively.…”
