Wet chemical thinning of molybdenum disulfide down to its monolayer
We report on the preparation of mono- and bi-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) from a bulk crystal by facile wet chemical etching. We show that concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) effectively etches thin MoS2 crystals from their edges via formation of MoO3. Interestingly, etching of thin crystals on a s...
