Main Results:

  • Synthesized single-crystalline n-type CdS nanosheets (40-100 nm thick, 10-300 µm wide, up to millimeters long).
  • Achieved record high on-off ratio (∼1.7 × 10^9) and transconductance (∼14.1 µS) for CdS nanosheet nano-TFTs.
  • Demonstrated CdS nanosheet/p(+)-Si LEDs with intense room-temperature band-edge emission (∼507.7 nm) and narrow FWHM (∼14 nm).

Conclusions:

  • Successfully synthesized high-quality n-type CdS nanosheets via CVD.
  • Established CdS nanosheets as a promising material for high-performance nano-TFTs.
  • Developed efficient CdS nanosheet-based LEDs with potential for electroluminescence and lasing applications.
