Van der Waals Heterostructures Down to One-Dimensional Level: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications

Dr. Xiang’s and Maruyama’s review presents the most recent research activities on 1D vdWHs, including the candidate materials, the synthetic techniques, and characterization methods. The optoelectronic applications are discussed in detail for different constructions of the 1D vdWHs-based devices (FETs, sensors, LEDs, photovoltaic devices, and light detection). Some challenges and perspectives for future development and applications of 1D vdWHs are also proposed to conclude the review.
