Growth of ‘W’ doped molybdenum disulfide on graphene transferred molybdenum substrate

Abstract In the present study, a novel method has been carried out to grow tungsten (W) doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on the graphene transferred TEM grid in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) setup. Tungsten trioxide (WO3) has been used as a source for ‘W’ while ‘Mo’ has been derived from Mo bas...
