Interaction between pentacene molecules and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
arXiv:2304.08619 · doi:10.1039/D3CP01895D
Abstract
Using first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory, we investigated the adsorption of pentacene molecules on monolayer two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). We considered the four most popular TMDs, namely, MoS, MoSe, WS and WSe, and we examined the structural and electronic properties of pentacene/TMD systems. We discuss how monolayer pentacene interacts with the TMDs, and how this interaction affects the charge transfer and work function of the heterostructure. We also analyse the type of band alignment formed in the heterostructure and how it is affected by molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interactions. Such analysis is valuable since pentacene/TMD heterostructures are considered to be promising for application in flexible, thin and lightweight photovoltaics and photodetectors.
