Molybdenum Tungsten Diselenide (MoWSe2) Powder CAS 126414-37-7

MoWSe2 Powder, high quality 2D TMDC alloy

Monolayers exhibit strong photoluminescence emission

Molybdenum tungsten diselenide (MoWSe₂), CAS number 126414-37-7, is a 2D TMDC alloy. Alloying 2D TMDCs has proven to be an effective way of modulating the band gap because of the good thermodynamic stability (at room temperature) of the alloys.

Applications

applications in photodetectors, FETs, LEDs and photovoltaic devices

MoWSe₂ monolayers consist of two Se atomic layers and a sandwiched metal (Mo/W) atom layer. The monolayer of MoWSe₂shows alternating atomic arrangement of Mo and Se sites in the hexagonal rings, with the Mo atoms partially and randomly substituted by W atoms compared to MoSe₂. Like graphite, its interlayers are bound by weak van der Waals.

Structure of Molybdenum Tungsten Diselenide Powder

Applications of Molybdenum Tungsten Diselenide Powder

With a tunable band gap and band edge position, thin-layer nanosheets of molybdenum tungsten diselenide have applications in photodetectors, FETs, LEDs and photovoltaic devices such as being applied in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).

Synthesis

Molybdenum tungsten diselenide powder is obtained via the CVT method, with purity typically in excess of 99.995%.

Usage

Molybdenum tungsten diselenide powder is generally used to prepare MoWSe₂ quantum dot solutions and nano-platelets by liquid exfoliation, assisted by sonication. High-purity MoWSe₂ powder can also be used in chemical vapour deposition to prepare high-quality mono-layer films.

MoWSe₂ monolayers exhibit strong PL emission, indicating its direct band gap nature, while the bilayers and few-layers are indirect band gap semiconductors. Electrical transport measurement reveals n-type semiconducting transport behaviour with a high on/off ratio (>10⁵) for MoWSe₂ monolayers.

Viscoelastic Transfer of 2D Material Using PDMS

Viscoelastic transfer using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps is one of the methods used for the deterministic placement of 2D materials and the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures. It relies on the viscoelasticity of PDMS, which behaves as an elastic solid on short time scales, but as a viscous fluid on long time scales.
