1974年，分子电子学先驱Mark Ratner和Arieh Aviram预测，单个分子可以作为二极管，其中的电流可以被整流。二极管的电子整流特性是电子元件的基本功能之一，从那时起，分子二极管作为第一个具有实际应用价值的单分子器件被研究。本文首先介绍了由少量分子或单分子组成的分子二极管的实验制备和电子表征技术。然后讨论了影响分子二极管整流性能的两种主要机理。最后，对分子二极管的代表性研究成果进行了综述，并对未来研究中需要解决的关键问题进行了简要展望。
In 1974, molecular electronics pioneers Mark Ratner and Arieh Aviram predicted that a single molecule could act as a diode, in which electronic current can be rectified. The electronic rectification property of the diode is one of basic functions of electronic components and since then, the molecular diode has been investigated as a first single-molecule device that would have a practical application. In this review, we first describe the experimental fabrication and electronic characterization techniques of molecular diodes consisting of a small number of molecules or a single molecule. Then, two main mechanisms of the rectification property of the molecular diode are discussed. Finally, representative results for the molecular diode are reviewed and a brief outlook on crucial issues that need to be addressed in future research is discussed.
