Effects of p-type (Ag, Cu) dopant on the electronic, optical and photocatalytic properties of MoS2, and impact on Au/Mo100-x-yAgxCuyS2 performance

MoS2 is an alternative of graphene due to its intriguing properties and it is necessary to modify the properties for achieving p-MoS2 and complementary device applications. Doping is one of the most prevalent techniques for modification of materials properties and fabricating p-MoS2. Herein, we report on Ag and Ag-Cu doped MoS2 investigated by theoretical and experimental studies. Detailed study of DFT highlights the confirmation of p-type MoS2....
