To fully exploit van der Waals materials and heterostructures, new mass-scalable production routes that are low cost but preserve the high electronic and optical quality of the single crystals are required. Here, we demonstrate an approach to realize a variety of functional heterostructures based on van der Waals nanocrystal films produced through the mechanical abrasion of bulk powders. Significant performance improvements are realized in our devices compared to those fabricated through ink-jet printing of nanocrystal dispersions. To highlight the simplicity and scalability of the technology a multitude of different functional heterostructure devices such as resistors, capacitors, photovoltaics as well as energy devices such as large-area catalyst coatings for hydrogen evolution reaction and multilayer heterostructures for triboelectric nanogenerators are shown. The simplicity of the device fabrication, scalability, and compatibility with flexible substrates makes this a promising technological route for up-scalable van der Waals heterostructures.

The individual building blocks of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures host fascinating physical phenomena, ranging from ballistic electron transport in graphene to striking optical properties of MoSe2 sheets. The presence of bonded and non-bonded co
hesive interactions in a vdW heterostructure, promotes diversity in their structural arrangements, which in turn profoundly modulate the properties of their individual constituents. Here, we report on the presence of correlated structural disorder coexisting with the nearly perfect crystallographic order along the growth direction of epitaxial vdW heterostructures of Bi2Se3/graphene/SiC. Using the depth penetration of X-ray diffraction microscopy and scattering, we probed their crystal structure from atomic to mesoscopic length scales, to reveal that their structural diversity is underpinned by spatially correlated disorder states. The presence of the latter induces on a system, widely considered to behave as a collection of nearly independent 2-dimensional units, a pseudo-3-dimensional character, when subjected to epitaxial constraints and ordered substrate interactions. These findings shed new light on the nature of the vast structural landscape of vdW heterostructures and could enable new avenues in modulating their unique properties by correlated disorder.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on III-V/II-VI materials have delivered a compelling performance in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, which enabled wide-ranging applications, including environmental monitoring, defense and medical diagnostics. Con
tinued efforts are underway to realize on-chip sensors via heterogeneous integration of mid-IR emitters on a silicon photonic chip. But the uptake of such approach is limited by the high costs and interfacial strains, associated with the process of heterogeneous integrations. Here, the black phosphorus (BP)-based van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are exploited as room temperature LEDs. The demonstrated devices can emit linearly polarized light, and their spectra cover the technologically important mid-IR atmospheric window (3-4 um). Additionally, the BP LEDs exhibit fast modulation speed as well as exceptional stability, and its peak extrinsic quantum efficiency (QE~0.9%) is comparable to the III-V/II-VI mid-IR LEDs. By leveraging the integrability of vdW heterostructures, we further demonstrate a silicon photonic waveguide-integrated BP LED. The reported hybrid platform holds great promise for mid-IR silicon photonics.
Van der Waals materials can be easily combined in lateral and vertical heterostructures, providing an outstanding platform to engineer elusive quantum states of matter. However, a critical problem in material science is to establish tangible links be
tween real materials properties and terms that can be cooked up on the model Hamiltonian level to realize different exotic phenomena. Our review aims to do precisely this: we first discuss, in a way accessible to the materials community, what ingredients need to be included in the hybrid quantum materials recipe, and second, we elaborate on the specific materials that would possess the necessary qualities. We will review the well-established procedures for realizing 2D topological superconductors, quantum spin-liquids and flat bands systems, emphasizing the connection between well-known model Hamiltonians and real compounds. We will use the most recent experimental results to illustrate the power of the designer approach.
The development of van der Waals (vdW) crystals and their heterostructures has created a fascinating platform for exploring optoelectronic properties in the two-dimensional (2D) limit. With the recent discovery of 2D magnets, the control of the spin
degree of freedom can be integrated to realize 2D spin-optoelectronics with spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here, we report spin photovoltaic effects in vdW heterostructures of atomically thin magnet chromium triiodide (CrI3) sandwiched by graphene contacts. In the absence of a magnetic field, the photocurrent displays a distinct dependence on light helicity, which can be tuned by varying the magnetic states and photon energy. Circular polarization-resolved absorption measurements reveal that these observations originate from magnetic-order-coupled and thus helicity-dependent charge-transfer exciton states. The photocurrent displays multiple plateaus as the magnetic field is swept, which are associated with different spin configurations enabled by the layered antiferromagnetism and spin-flip transitions in CrI3. Remarkably, giant photo-magnetocurrent is observed, which tends to infinity for a small applied bias. Our results pave the way to explore emergent photo-spintronics by engineering magnetic vdW heterostructures.
That one can stack van der Waals materials with atomically sharp interfaces has provided a new material platform of constructing heterostructures. The technical challenge of mechanical stacking is picking up the exfoliated atomically thin materials a
fter mechanical exfoliation without chemical and mechanical degradation. Chemically inert hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been widely used for encapsulating and picking up vdW materials. However, due to the relatively weak adhesion of hBN, assembling vdW heterostructures based on hBN has been limited. We report a new dry transfer technique. We used two vdW semiconductors (ZnPS3 and CrPS4) to pick up and encapsulate layers for vdW heterostructures, which otherwise are known to be hard to fabricate. By combining with optimized polycaprolactone (PCL) providing strong adhesion, we demonstrated various vertical heterostructure devices, including quasi-2D superconducting NbSe2 Josephson junctions with atomically clean interface. The versatility of the PCL-based vdW stacking method provides a new route for assembling complex 2D vdW materials without interfacial degradation.
