p-Type Two-Dimensional Semiconductors: From Materials Preparation to Electronic Applications

Abstract

Highlights Compared to the n-type two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, the family of p-type 2D semiconductors is relatively small, which limits the broad integration of 2D semiconductors in potential applications. Here, the discovery and preparation of p-type 2D semiconductors are very important and meaningful. This review presents a timely and in-depth overview on the preparation and applications of p-type 2D semiconductors, which would help the related researchers to grasp the dynamics of this field and thus lay the foundations for their potential application in electronics and optoelectronics.
