Abstract
Monolayer and multilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) materials are semiconductors with direct/indirect bandgaps of 1.2–1.8 eV and are attractive due to their changes in response to electrical, physicochemical, biological, and mechanical factors. Since the desired electrical properties of MoS2 are known, research on its electrical properties has increased, with focus on the deposition and growth of large-area MoS2 and its functionalization. While research on the large-scale production of MoS2 is actively underway, there is a lack of studies on functionalization approaches, which are essential since functional groups can help to dissolve particles or provide adequate reactivity. Strategies for producing films of functionalized MoS2 are rare, and what methods do exist are either complex or inefficient. This work introduces an efficient way to functionalize MoS2. Functional groups are formed on the surface by exposing MoS2 with surface sulfur vacancies generated by plasma treatment to 3-mercaptopropionic acid. This technique can create 1.8 times as many carboxyl groups on the MoS2 surface compared with previously reported strategies. The MoS2-based gas sensor fabricated using the proposed method shows a 2.6 times higher sensitivity and much lower detection limit than the untreated device.
