Abstract
In this paper, we have reported a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of uniform, highly conducting single or few layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on large scale. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) have been used for the confirmation of mono or few layered nature of the as-synthesized MoS2 sheets. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy have also been used to study the elemental, phase, and molecular composition of the sample. Optical properties of as-synthesized sample have been probed by measuring absorption and photoluminescence spectra which also compliment the formation of mono and few layers MoS2 Current-voltage (I-V ) characteristics of as-synthesized sample in the pellet form reveal that MoS2 sheets have an ohmic character and found to be highly conducting. Besides characterizing the as-synthesized sample, we have also proposed the mechanism and factors which play a decisive role in formation of high quality MoS2 sheets.
