RESUMEN
This study reports a clean and damage-free transfer method that enables the ultrafast transfer of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) onto desired substrates with a remarkably high yield. We employ a water-soluble sodium salt as both a transfer sacrificial layer for facile transfer and a catalytic layer for the growth of high-quality large-area MoS2using liquid-phase chemical vapor deposition via a catalyzed kinetic growth. We show that the pristine structural and electrical properties of the grown MoS2can be reliably preserved by avoiding detrimental effects during the prolonged harsh-environment transfer process. We demonstrate the technological versatility of the proposed transfer method by fabricating as-transferred MoS2-based back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs). The MoS2FETs exhibit excellent charge mobility as high as 28.7 cm2V-1s-1and an on-off ratio up to â¼107at room temperature, indicating no performance degradation after the transfer process. The proposed transfer method offers universal applicability for various 2D TMDs, mechanical supporting polymers, and target substrates, thus facilitating the facile fabrication of 2D TMD-based electronics and optoelectronics.
RESUMEN
We introduce an innovative method that facilitates precise control of high-quality molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) growth, extending up to three layers, on a large scale. This scalable growth is realized by employing solution-based catalysts and precursors in conjunction with chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The catalyst not only diminishes the precursor's activation energy and melting temperature but also augments the overall reaction rate. By regulating the concentration ratio, we directly manipulate the precursor concentrations, thereby promoting clean growth. This unique control mechanism, as delineated in this study, is unprecedented. Our findings confirm that the catalyst introduction does not compromise the quality of the resulting samples. Field effect transistors (FETs) fabricated from the synthesized MoS2 display superior electrical properties; they exhibit a high carrier mobility of 32.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 and an on/off current ratio of 108, signifying their promising electrical performance. Accordingly, our findings suggest that the solution-based CVD strategy presented herein can be potentially utilized for the integration of FETs into a multitude of practical applications.
RESUMEN
Thermosetting polymers and composites are a class of high-performance materials with significant industrial applications. However, the widespread use of thermosets and their composites generates large quantities of waste and leads to serious economic and environmental problems, there is a critical need in the elaboration of sustainable composite materials. Here, we propose a method to prepare sustainable carbon fiber reinforced composites with different degrees of greenness by blending environmentally friendly EIA with DGEBA in different ratios, and the properties compared with a well-known commercial petroleum-based epoxy resin. The prepared carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with different degrees of greenness had excellent dimensional stability under extreme hygrothermal aging. After aging, the green CFRP composite T700/EIA-30 has higher strength and performance retention than that of petroleum-based CFRP composites. The higher hygrothermal stability and durability of EIA-based epoxy resins as compared with BPA-based epoxy resins demonstrated significant evidence to design and develop a novel bio-based epoxy resin with high performance to substitute the petroleum-based epoxy resin.
RESUMEN
MoS2, owing to its advantages of having a sheet-like structure, high electrical conductivity, and benign environmental nature, has emerged as a candidate of choice for electrodes of next-generation supercapacitors. Its widespread use is offset, however, by its low energy density and poor durability. In this study, to overcome these limitations, flower-shaped MoS2/graphene heterostructures have been deployed as electrode materials on flexible substrates. Three-electrode measurements yielded an exceptional capacitance of 853 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, while device measurements on an asymmetric supercapacitor yielded 208 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and long-term cyclic durability. Nearly 86.5% of the electrochemical capacitance was retained after 10,000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Moreover, a remarkable energy density of 65 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 0.33 kW kg-1 was obtained. Our MoS2/Gr heterostructure composites have great potential for the development of advanced energy storage devices.
