    Low dimensional nanomaterials, like zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional van der Waals materials (2D-vdW), have aroused strong research interest owing to their fascinating electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. Optoelectronic properties of these low dimensional nanomaterials are important for exploring their applications in a wide range such as photovoltaics, photodetectors, light emitting diodes and quantum information. In this talk, I will first discuss optoelectronic characterizations of hybrids composed by QDs and 2D-vdW using home-built scanning photocurrent microscope, demonstrating the potential applications in photovoltaics and photodetectors. Then I will show the enhancement in optoelectronic properties of 2D materials through self-assemble. In the last part, I will discuss the future facility developments and research directions in this fascinating and promising research area.
