“…[13][14][15] The huge research interest in MoS 2 is caused by its similar properties to graphene (the appearance of which turned the whole world of electronics [16] ) and BP (possesses a thickness-dependent direct bandgap that enables transistors with a high ON/OFF current ratio [17] ). [18] Due to its direct bandgap and high stability in ambient air, MoS 2 has a great advantage over graphene and BP [19] for several applications, including flexible sensors, [20] field-effect transistors (FET), [12,21] complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) inverters, [22] imaging, [23] sensing, [24] medical, [25] industrial, [26] environmental, [27] biological, [28] batteries, [29] lasers, [30] and ultrafast optical communications. [31,32] However, it is still challenging to achieve large-area MoS 2 monolayers with desired material quality and electrical properties to fulfill the requirement for practical applications.…”
