ABSTRACT
Defects in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) may lead to unintentional doping, charge-carrier trapping, and nonradiative recombination. These effects impair electronic and optoelectronic technologies. Here we show that charged defects in MoS2 monolayers can be effectively screened when they are in contact with an ionic liquid (IL), leading to an increase in photoluminescence (PL) yield by up to two orders of magnitude. The extent of this PL enhancement by the IL correlates with the brightness of each pretreated sample. We propose the existence of two classes of nonradiative recombination centers in monolayer MoS2 (i) charged defects that relate to unintentional doping and may be electrostatically screened by ILs and (ii) neutral defects that remain unaffected by the presence of ILs.
