Popis: MoS 2 , in single to few-layer format, is of interest because of its potential for advanced transistor and sensor applications. Its sizable bandgap enables single layer transistors with large on/off current ratios, and the large surface-to-volume ratio provides sensitive transduction of surface physisorption to the channel conductivity. Here, we discuss aspects of transistor device fabrication and of chemical vapor sensing experiments. We expose MoS 2 chemical sensors to a variety of analytes, find the largest response to triethylamine, a nerve gas by-product, and explain our results based on a donor–acceptor model. We show that our MoS 2 sensors provide comparable sensitivity and much higher selectivity than other low-dimensional sensors such as carbon nanotube and graphene chemical sensors. We present results for back-gated sensing and light sensitivity for our monolayer MoS 2 sensors, and compare the results with multilayer MoS 2 sensors.
