a,b, A schematic (a) and false-coloured angled SEM image (b) of a dual-gated 2D FET incorporating LiInP2S6 as the top-gate dielectric, monolayer MoS2 as the semiconducting channel and 25 nm Al2O3 as the back-gate dielectric. c, An AFM image of an exfoliated LiInP2S6 flake with a measured thickness of ~70 nm. d, The top view of the ABP2X6 crystal structure, where A represents Li, Cu, Ag and so on; B corresponds to In, Sc and similar elements; P stands for phosphorus in the ABP2X6 family; and X denotes chalcogens such as S and Se. e, The XRD pattern of LiInP2S6 crystals confirms phase purity with no secondary phases. f, The SEM combined with EDS verifies the presence of LiInP2S6 constituents, except Li, which is undetectable by EDS. g, XPS spectra of exfoliated LiInP2S6 display a Li 1s peak at ~55.2 eV, confirming its ionic state, along with dominant In2+ signals and minor In3+ contributions due to surface oxidation.
