Abstract Ultrasound is a powerful tool in materials processing, yet its application in constructing van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures remains under-explored. In this study, MoS2 and graphene — two widely studied 2D materials — were successfully assembled into vdW heterostructures via a convenient ultrasound-driven self-assembly approach. The morphology of the heterostructures was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while their structural and compositional features were confirmed through x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Red-shifted Raman peaks and decreased binding energies in XPS spectra provided strong evidence of successful heterostructure formation. A three-stage assembly mechanism — comprising dispersion, assembly, and adjustment — is proposed, with acoustic cavitation playing a key role in driving the process. This study not only demonstrates the feasibility of synthesizing 2D heterostructures via an ultrasonic route but also lays a foundation for future scalable, energy-efficient fabrication strategies.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
