Layer Thinning and Etching of Mechanically Exfoliated MoS2 Nanosheets by Thermal Annealing in Air
Abstract
A simple thermal annealing method for layer thinning and etching of mechanically exfoliated MoS 2 nanosheets in air is reported. Using this method, single‐layer (1L) MoS 2 nanosheets are achieved after the thinning of MoS 2 nanosheets from double‐layer (2L) to quadri‐layer (4L) at 330 °C. The as‐prepared 1L MoS 2 nanosheet shows comparable optical and electrical properties with the mechanically exfoliated, pristine one. In addition, for the first time, the MoS 2 mesh with high‐density of triangular pits is also fabricated at 330 °C, which might arise from the anisotropic etching of the active MoS 2 edge sites. As a result of thermal annealing in air, the thinning of MoS 2 nanosheet is possible due to its oxidation to form MoO 3. Importantly, the MoO 3 fragments on the top of thinned MoS 2 layer induces the hole injection, resulting in the p‐type channel in fabricated field‐effect transistors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
