Two-Step Facile Preparation of 2D MoS2/ZnO Nanocomposite p-n Junctions with Enhanced Photoelectric Performance by Ali Aldalbahi, Zhen-Bo Wang, Tansir Ahamad, Saad M. Alshehri, Peter X. Feng

“…The nanoscale morphologies, composites, and photoelectric properties of nanocomposites were examined using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and micro-Raman scattering spectroscopy, respectively. 2D heteronanostructures have exhibited an enhanced performance as compared to single-material-based prototypes. In photovoltaic mode, n-p heterojunction of the ZnO-MoS2-based prototype appears to have much better photoelectric conversion efficiency than that in the case with p-n junction, indicating highly effective hole transport properties of 2D MoS2 materials. …”
