(color online) (a) Photoluminescence spectra of a series of composition tunable WS Se monolayer nanosheets. Inset: photoluminescence intensity mapping of the same WS Se nanosheets (x = 0.522; mapping peak is 687.5 nm; scale bar is 10 μm).[64] (b) Transfer characteristics ( plot) of WS Se nanosheet transistors with different S atomic ratios from nearly pure WSe (brown curve) to nearly pure WS (black curve).[64] (c) Polarization curves after iR correction obtained at a voltage sweeping rate of 5 mV in the monolayer WS Se (x = 0.43), monolayer WS , monolayer WSe , Pt and GC electrode.[62]
