Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal disulfides (TMDCs) have attracted great attention and are expected to be used in many fields. However, since it is difficult to control the way in which reactants are supplied to the reaction during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth, it is difficult to obtain uniform TMDCs with clean surfaces.

In view of this, Associate Professor Liu Bilu of Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen College and Academician Cheng Huiming of the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a new growth method of "dissolution-precipitation" (DP) growth, which seals the metal source inside the glass substrate to control Its feed to the reaction.

Highlights of this article

Point 1. In this method, the metal source is embedded between two pieces of glass and gradually diffuses to the surface of the upper glass during the growth process. In this way, the researchers achieved a uniform feed of the metal source, and only limited the reaction to the surface of the top glass. At the same time, since the metal source and the sulfur source do not share the same diffusion path, any unwanted gas phase is avoided reaction.

Point 2. Researchers used this method to successfully grow a highly uniform and clean single-layer TMDCs on the surface of centimeter-level molten glass. At the same time, this method has been used in various TMDCs and alloys such as MoSe2, WS2, MoTe2, MoxW(1-x)S2, V-doped MoS2, and has good versatility.
