All Chemical Vapor Deposition Synthesis and Intrinsic Bandgap Observation of MoS2 /Graphene Heterostructures

Adv Mater. 2015 Nov 25;27(44):7086-92. doi: 10.1002/adma.201503342. Epub 2015 Oct 7.

Abstract

A facile all-chemical vapor deposition approach is designed, which allows both sequentially grown Gr and monolayer MoS2 in the same growth process, thus allowing the direct construction of MoS2 /Gr vertical heterostructures on Au foils. A weak n-doping effect and an intrinsic bandgap of MoS2 are obtained from MoS2 /Gr/Au via scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy characterization. The exciton binding energy is accurately deduced by combining photoluminescence measurements.

Keywords: exciton binding energies; graphene heterostructures; intrinsic bandgaps; quasi-freestanding MoS2; scanning tunneling microscopy.
