Mechanically rollable photodetectors enabled by centimetre-scale 2D MoS(2) layer/TOCN composites
Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) layers are suitable for visible-to-near infrared photodetection owing to their tunable optical bandgaps. Also, their superior mechanical deformability enabled by an extremely small thickness and van der Waals (vdW) assembly allows them to be structu...

Sumario: | Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) layers are suitable for visible-to-near infrared photodetection owing to their tunable optical bandgaps. Also, their superior mechanical deformability enabled by an extremely small thickness and van der Waals (vdW) assembly allows them to be structured into unconventional physical forms, unattainable with any other materials. Herein, we demonstrate a new type of 2D MoS(2) layer-based rollable photodetector that can be mechanically reconfigured while maintaining excellent geometry-invariant photo-responsiveness. Large-area (>a few cm(2)) 2D MoS(2) layers grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were integrated on transparent and flexible substrates composed of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNs) by a direct solution casting method. These composite materials in three-dimensionally rollable forms exhibited a large set of intriguing photo-responsiveness, well preserving intrinsic opto-electrical characteristics of the integrated 2D MoS(2) layers; i.e., light intensity-dependent photocurrents insensitive to illumination angles as well as highly tunable photocurrents varying with the rolling number of 2D MoS(2) layers, which were impossible to achieve with conventional photodetectors. This study provides a new design principle for converting 2D materials to three-dimensional (3D) objects of tailored functionalities and structures, significantly broadening their potential and versatility in futuristic devices. |
