Customization of 2D Atomic‐Molecular Heterojunction with Manipulatable Charge‐Transfer and Band Structure
Manipulating the properties of 2D materials through meticulously engineered artificial heterojunctions holds great promise for novel device applications. However, existing research on the crucial charge-transfer interactions and energy profile regulation is predominantly focused on 2D van der Waals structures formed via weak van der Waals forces, limiting regulatory efficiency at high costs. Herein, a refined atomic-molecular heterojunction strategy featuring strong covalent bonds between organic molecule and 2D violet phosphorus (VP) atomic crystal is developed, which enables enhanced charge-transfer dynamics and customizable band structure regulation at the molecular level. Both experimentally and theoretically, it is demonstrated that grafting efficiency, charge redistribution, and energy gap regulation critically depend on organic electronegativity, providing a low-cost yet high-efficiency regulatory effect on a large scale. As a proof of concept, the novel VP-molecular heterojunctions exhibit optimized performance in diverse application domains, presenting a general platform for future high-performance device applications.
