摘要

In this paper, the electronic behavior of 375 nm average-thickness two-dimensional WS2, MoS2, and (WS2/MoS2) hybrid nanocomposite thin films was investigated. The films were prepared via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on vulcanized RTV-800 silicone rubber substrates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the crystalline phases of the deposited films, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize their surface morphology. The results demonstrate that Sample S3 (WS2 60%/MoS2 40%) represents the optimal composition, exhibiting the highest electrical conductivity of 7.911 \(\times\) 10–6 S/cm and a carrier concentration of 1.45 \(\times\) 1011 cm–3. Morphological analysis via AFM showed a controlled RMS roughness of 60.38 nm. Under bending strain testing, the hybrid films exhibited a stable electromechanical response, with a normalized resistance change of ∆R/Ro = 66.01 at a minimum bending radius of 7.81 mm. Moreover, all films showed a decrease in normalized resistance change under bending strain as the percent MoS2 increased, indicating the formation of stronger conductive pathways. Such outcomes demonstrate the promise of MoS2-doped WS2-based hybrid nanocomposites for semi-flexible electronic circuits and strain-tolerant device applications.
