The second-order nonlinear transport illuminates a frequency-doubling response emerging in quantum materials with a broken inversion symmetry. The two principal driving mechanisms, the Berry curvature dipole and the skew scattering, reflect various information including ground-state symmetries, band dispersions, and topology of electronic wave functions. However, effective manipulation of them in a single system has been lacking, hindering the pursuit of strong responses. Here, we report on the effective manipulation of the two mechanisms in a single graphene moiré superlattice, AB-BA stacked twisted double bilayer graphene. Most saliently, by virtue of the high tunability of moiré band structures and scattering rates, a record-high second-order transverse conductivity ∼ 510 μm S V -1 is observed, which is orders of magnitude higher than any reported values in the literature. Our findings establish the potential of electrically tunable graphene moiré systems for nonlinear transport manipulations and applications.
