Two-Dimensional Indium Selenide for Sulphur Vapour Sensing Applications
2020
Surface-to-volume ratio in two-dimensional (2D) materials highlights among their characteristics as an inherent and intrinsic advantage taking into account their strong sensitivity to surface effects. For this reason, we have proposed in this work micromechanically exfoliated 2D nanosheets of InSe as an optical vapour sensor. As a proof of concept, we used 2-mercaptoethanol as the chemical analyte in vapour phase to monitor the change of the InSe photoluminescence (PL) before and after exposure to the analyte. For short vapour exposure times (at low analyte concentration), we found a PL enhancement of InSe nanosheets attributed to the surface localization of Se defects. For long vapour expo…
Preparation and characterisation of optical and optoelectronic devices based in two-dimensional semiconductors
2020
In the Materials Science field, two-dimensional materials have gained the scientific community attention in recent years. The change and the appearance of novel properties when their thickness is reduced to nanometric scale has special interest for its fundamental properties study for, from this base, the design and its implementation in devices. The wide variety of materials with the possibility of being exfoliated at the two-dimensional level opens the field to different applications, from optoelectronic devices, detection and sensing, energy storage, catalysis, medical applications and quantum information technologies, among others. This thesis gathers results in both directions: a funda…
