First principles study and experimental investigation of graphene-molybdenum disulphide nanocomposites based passive saturable absorber

Research on hybrid graphene with other two-dimensional materials has gained considerable attention owing to their potential applications beyond single components. Through our first principles analysis via density functional theory, graphene-molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) demonstrated a band gap openin...

description Research on hybrid graphene with other two-dimensional materials has gained considerable attention owing to their potential applications beyond single components.

The simulated graphene-MoS2 has a direct band gap situated at K point of Brillouin zone with preserved Dirac properties of graphene. The experimental studies on graphene-MoS2 also have been performed by preparing graphene-MoS2-chitin nanocomposite through facile liquid-phase exfoliation method.
