Abstract:
We show that gold decorated MoS2 flakes are amenable to thiol chemistry by blending them with a cross-linkable thiolated polysiloxane (PMMS). PMMS prevents restacking of dispersed MoS2 when transforming the metallic to the semiconducting phase. Cross-linking PMMS yields an elastomer of good optical quality, containing individual, mostly single-layer MoS2 flakes.
