Energy and charge transfer processes in interacting donor-acceptor systems are the bedrock of many fundamental studies and technological applications ranging from biosensing to energy storage and quantum optoelectronics. Central to the understanding and utilization of these transfer processes is having full control over the donor-acceptor distance. With their atomic thickness and ease of integrability, two-dimensional materials are naturally emerging as an ideal platform for the task. Here, we review how van der Waals semiconductors are shaping the field. We present a selection of some of the most significant demonstrations involving transfer processes in layered materials that deepen our understanding of transfer dynamics and are leading to intriguing practical realizations. Alongside current achievements, we discuss outstanding challenges and future opportunities.
在相互作用的供体 - 受体系统中,能量和电荷转移过程是许多基础研究和技术应用的基石,这些应用涵盖了从生物传感到能量存储以及量子光电子学等领域。全面控制供体 - 受体距离是理解和利用这些转移过程的核心。二维材料因其原子厚度和易于集成的特性,自然而然地成为完成这项任务的理想平台。在此,我们回顾范德华半导体如何塑造这一领域。我们展示了一些最具代表性的示例,这些示例涉及层状材料中的转移过程,它们加深了我们对转移动力学的理解,并正带来引人入胜的实际应用。除了当前的成就,我们还讨论了突出的挑战和未来的机遇。
