Abstract
Monolayer tungsten selenide (WSe2) has attracted attention due to its direct bandgap-generated strong light emission and light-matter interaction. Herein, vertical WSe2/VOCl bilayer heterojunctions with enhanced PL of WSe2 were synthesized by the vapor growth method. The morphology, crystal structure, and chemical composition of the WSe2/VOCl heterojunctions were systematically investigated, which confirmed the successful formation of the heterojunctions. The PL emission intensity of WSe2 obtained from the WSe2/VOCl heterojunction was about 2.4 times higher than that of the WSe2 monolayer, demonstrating the high optical quality of the WSe2/VOCl heterojunction, which was further confirmed by time-resolved PL measurements. The insulator top VOCl, which was deposited on the surface of the semiconductor bottom WSe2 as a surface passivation material, reducing the impurities and resulting in an atomically clean surface, successfully enhanced the PL emission of the bottom WSe2. This vertical WSe2/VOCl bilayer heterojunction with PL enhancement could provide a promising platform for optical devices.
