The growth process will be particularly sensitive to changes of growth parameters for materials with a narrow region of stability of desired intermediate kinetic phases. However, in practice, even subtle changes of these parameters can lead to significant differences in growth qualities of 2D materials. 7 These growth methods provide several adjustable control parameters, including powder/vapor species, gas flow rates, substrate materials and positions, and temperatures, to fabricate 2D materials with different morphologies. For example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been applied to the growth of monolayer 1, 2, 3 and multilayers 4 of MoS 2 and related heterostructures 5, 6 powder vaporization (PV) has also been applied to synthesize both vertical and planar MoS 2 crystals. Vapor-based growth methods have been successfully applied to synthesizing various 2D materials. It is shown that the model can be employed to predict and control the morphology and characteristics of synthesized 2D materials.Ĭontrollable synthesis of 2D materials with desirable morphology is challenging and yet is an important prerequisite for realizing their unique functional properties and corresponding applications. The predicted spatial distributions of 2D islands are statistically analyzed, and experiments are then performed to validate the predicted island morphology and distributions. In particular, we coupled the reactor-scale governing heat and mass transport equations with the mesoscale phase-field equations for the growth morphology considering the variation of edge energies with the precursor concentration within the growth chamber. Its capabilities are experimentally validated via the systematic growth of MoS 2.
Here, we developed a multiscale model linking CVD control parameters to the morphology, size, and distribution of synthesized 2D materials. However, controllable and reproducible synthesis of 2D materials using CVD is a challenge because of the complex growth process and its sensitivity to subtle changes in growth conditions, making it difficult to extend conclusions obtained in one CVD chamber to another. It has advantages over exfoliation techniques, including higher purity and the ability to control the chemistry of the products.
