Controllable bandgap widening from 1.8 to 2.6 eV is reported from oxidized MoS2 sheets that are composed of quilted phases of various MoSxOy flakes. The exfoliated flakes have large size (≥100 μm × 100 μm) sheets with average thickness of 1.7 nm. Remarkably, fine reversible tuning of the bandgap is achieved by postprocessing sulfurization of the MoSxOy sheets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
