Local Fermi Level Engineering in 2D‐MoS2 Realized via Microcontact Printing of Self‐Assembled Monolayers for Next‐Generation Electronics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising for next‐gen optoelectronics. Their sensitivity to surroundings affects their electronic behavior. Substrate surfaces are chemically engineered to locally dope and adjust the properties of single layer MoS2 FETs employing self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) arranged in patterns.

Enabling High‐Voltage Polymer‐Based Solid‐State Batteries Through Reinforcements with LiAlO2 Fillers

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐ceramic solid composite electrolytes with passive LiAlO2 fillers show remarkable improvements in Li‐ion conductivity in polycarbonates as compared to both non‐conductive Al2O3 and conductive Li7La3Zr2O12 counterparts. The exceptionally high transference numbers contribute to reversible and stable electrochemistry with Li‐metal electrodes and to
