ABSTRACT

The  diverse  series  of  transition  metal  dichalcogenide (TMDC)  materials  has  been employed  in various optoelectronic  applications,  such  as  photodetectors,  light-emitting  diodes,  and  lasers. Typically, the detection or emission range of optoelectronic devices is unique to the bandgap of the active material. Therefore, to improve the capability of these devices, extensive efforts have been devoted  to  tune  the  bandgap,  such  as  gating,  strain, and  dielectric  engineering.  However, the controllability of these methods is severely limited (typically ~0.1 eV). In contrast, alloying TMDCs is an effective approach that yields a composition-dependent bandgap and enables light emissions over  a  wide range.  In  this  study,  we fabricated  a color-tunable  light-emitting  device  using compositionally  graded  TMDC  alloys.  The  monolayer  WS2/WSe2 alloy  grown  by  chemical  vapor deposition showed a spatial gradient in the light emission energy, which varied from 2.1 to 1.7 eV. We incorporated this alloy in an electrolyte-based light-emitting device structure that can tune the recombination zone laterally. Thus, we successfully fabricated a continuous and reversible color- tunable light-emitting device by controlling the light-emitting positions. Our results provide a new approach for exploring monolayer semiconductor-based broadband optical applications.
