Effect of Re-Doping on Various Properties of MoSe2 Single Crystals

The transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) has the general formula MX2 where ‘M’ is a transition metal (M=W Mo) from IVB VB and VIB group of the periodic table and ‘X’ is one of the chalcogens namely S Se and Te. Its basic structure is loosely couple X-M-X sheets which makes the material extremely interesting because within a layer the bonds are strong while between the layer they are remarkably weak. Significant optical to electrical/chemical energy conversion efficiencies have been obtained in solid state photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical solar cells with TMDC semiconductor-electrolyte interface.
