One-dimensional (1D) materials have attracted significant research interest due to their unique quantum confinement effects and edge-related properties. Atomically thin 1D nanoribbon is particularly interesting because it is a valuable platform with physical limits of both thickness and width. Here, we develop a catalyst-free growth method and achieves the growth of Bi2O2Se nanostructures with tunable dimensionality. Significantly, Bi2O2Se nanoribbons with thickness down to 0.65 nm, corresponding to monolayer, are successfully grown for the first time. Electrical and optoelectronic measurements show that Bi2O2Se nanoribbons possess decent performance in terms of mobility, on/off ratio, and photoresponsivity, suggesting their promising for devices. This work not only reports a new method for the growth of atomically thin nanoribbons but also provides a platform to study properties and applications of such nanoribbon materials at thickness limit.
