Abstract

AbstractPlatinum diselenide (PtSe2), a 2D noble metal dichalcogenide, has recently received significant attention due to its outstanding properties. It undergoes a semimetal to semiconductor transition when thinned, offers a bandgap in the infrared range, and exhibits excellent stability in ambient conditions. These properties make it a prime active material in optoelectronic and chemical sensing devices. However, there is a high demand for a synthesis method that can produce large‐scale and reliable high‐quality PtSe2. In this study, the growth of PtSe2 is presented by metal–organic vapor deposition on a variety of substrates. Comprehensive Raman, X‐ray photoelectron, and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy, as well as scanning tunneling microscopy characterization reveals the high quality of the deposited PtSe2. Domains within the films are found to be up to several hundreds of nanometers in size, and their highly ordered crystalline structure is evident from atomic‐scale measurements. Electrical characterization demonstrates improved conductivity relative to conventional synthesis methods. This study provides fundamental guidance for the scalable synthesis and implementation of high quality PtSe2 layers with controllable thickness, offering a key requirement for the implementation of PtSe2 in future applications.
