Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has the same layer-stack structure as graphene and shows itself prospects in logic devices, due to its large bandgap and absence of dangling bonds. Besides, single-layer MoS2 with a direct bandgap has recently attracted researchers’ interest in its potential applications in optoelectronics. We review the recent development of MoS2, electron transport in MoS2 transistors and its applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Other than MoS2, we also discuss some novel applications based on other members in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), especially WS2 and WSe2.
