Graphene has emerged as the most popular subject area in the active research field since its discovery in 2004. The published documents illustrate the popularity of Graphene research and innovations, spontaneously increased from about 150 in 2004 to 21,500 in 2018. Graphene is relatively young but high-hope for markets. The cover photo of May 2019 issue describes the structure of a cylindrical Graphene to celebrate the 15th anniversary of it's discovery.

Two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are attractive for use in optoelectronic devices, due to their unique optical absorption properties and van der Waals (vdWs) force between layers. Heterostructures based on layered semiconductors provide a new platform for broadband high-performance photodetectors. In this work, graphene-MoTe2-WS2-graphene vdWs heterojunctions are fabricated for photodetection. The fundamental electric properties and the band structures of the heterojunctions are investigated and discussed. The devices show a high responsivity (≈ 140 mA W-1 at 825 nm), stable and broadband photodetection from UV to NIR wavelength range (300 - 1350 nm), fast response time of 186 µs and self-driven photodetectors. The scanning photocurrent microscopy maps are also employed to study the mechanism of photocurrent generation in the heterojunction. Our results reveal that the vdWs heterojunctions with graphene electrodes offer a new route to broadband detection, optical communication and energy harvesting applications.
