Microwave Facilitated Covalent Organic Framework/Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures.

Organic/inorganic heterostructures present a versatile platform for creating materials with new functionalities and hybrid properties. In particular, junctions between two dimensional materials have demonstrated utility in next generation electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices. This work pioneers a microwave facilitated synthesis process to readily incorporate few-layer covalent organic framework (COF) films onto monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). Preferential microwave excitation of the monolayer TMDC flakes result in selective attachment of COFs onto the van der Waals surface with film thicknesses between 1 and 4 nm. The flexible process is extended to multiple TMDCs (MoS2, MoSe2, MoSSe) and several well-known COFs (TAPA-PDA COF, TPT-TFA-COF, and COF-5). Photoluminescence studies reveal a power-dependent defect formation in the TMDC layer, which facilitates electronic coupling between the materials at higher TMDC defect densities. This coupling results in a shift in the A-exciton peak location of MoSe2, with a red or blue shift of 50 or 19 meV, respectively, depending upon the electron donating character of the few-layer COF films. Moreover, optoelectronic devices fabricated from the COF-5/TMDC heterostructure present an opportunity to tune the PL intensity and control the interaction dynamics within inorganic/organic heterostructures.
