Abstract

This work demonstrates the band-type engineering and the detailed charge transport mechanism upon visible light illumination for various configurations of vertically stacked monolayers of MoS2-ReS2grown by a two-step chemical vapour deposition method. In order to understand the stacking order of both materials has a direct impact on the band alignment arrangements, we investigate the optical properties of both ReS2–MoS2stacking configurations using micro-photoluminescence and interestingly observed the change in the band alignment upon changing the stacking order (ReS2–MoS2and MoS2–ReS2). The formation of the vertically stacked heterostructure is further validated by observing its morphology by HR-TEM. The MoS2on top of ReS2yielded Type II and ReS2on top of MoS2yielded type I band alignment. The fabricated photodetector exhibits responsivities of 152 A W−1for pristine ReS2, 72 A W−1for MoS2on top, and 400 A W−1for ReS2on top respectively for visible light illumination of 554 nm suggesting that the stacking configuration of the monolayer TMDs play a vital role in the performance of the optoelectronic properties. The detailed study of such configurations of vertically stacked 2D heterostructure is essential to better understand the optimal configuration for the development of highly responsive photodetectors.
