A facile all-chemical vapor deposition approach is designed, which allows both sequentially grown Gr and monolayer MoS2 in the same growth process, thus allowing the direct construction of MoS2 /Gr vertical heterostructures on Au foils. A weak n-doping effect and an intrinsic bandgap of MoS2 are obtained from MoS2 /Gr/Au via scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy characterization. The exciton binding energy is accurately deduced by combining photoluminescence measurements.
Keywords: exciton binding energies; graphene heterostructures; intrinsic bandgaps; quasi-freestanding MoS2; scanning tunneling microscopy.
