Such couplings can be rationally controlled by dielectric, separation, and stacking angles, which affect the overall charge or energy-transfer processes, and emergent potential landscape for twistronics. Herein, we report the efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in WS2/ hBN/MoSe2 heterostructure, probed by both steady-state and timeresolved optical spectroscopy. We clarified the evolution behavior of the electron−hole pairs and free electrons from the trions, that is, ∼59.9% of the electron−hole pairs could transfer into MoSe2 by FRET channels (∼38 ps) while the free electrons accumulate at the WS2/hBN interface to photogate MoSe2. This study presents a clear picture of the FRET process in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides’ heterojunctions, which establishes the scientific foundation for developing the related heterojunction optoelectronic devices.English2D materialsTransition metal dichalcogenidesTrionvan der Waals heterostructureFörster resonance energy transferPhotogatingOptical spectroscopyArticle10.1021/acsnano.0c05447
