Nanostructured Films of Semiconducting Molybdenum Disulfide Obtained Through Exfoliation-Restacking Method

Abstract

Preparing MoS2 films in mild conditions, using deposition of suspended MoS2 nanoplatelets onto the substrate is described. For this purpose, the nanosized MoS2 particles were obtained via restacking of MoS2 single layers produced by chemical exfoliation of bulk MoS2 crystals in liquid media. X-Ray diffraction study of the films showed that the basal planes of MoS2 crystallites are mainly oriented in the plane paral-lel to the substrate. Atomic force microscopy examination revealed the dependence of the film surface to-pography, as well as the roughness characteristics on the film thickness, which varied in the range of 0.03-2.2 m. Optical absorption spectra of the obtained MoS2 films were found to contain the same absorption bands as the spectra of thin natural MoS2 single crystals. Dark conductivity of the films was determined to be ~ 10–3 S∙сm–1 at 300 K. The present MoS2 films were found to be photosensitive in the range of 300-800 nm, providing the maximum value of photocurrent under photoexcitation at ~ 440 nm.
