Photodoping of graphene with long-lived electrons by interfacing with Janus WSSe

monolayers grown by chemical vapor deposition. We fabricated the heterostructure by transferring a mechanically exfoliated graphene monolayer onto the Se-terminated side of WSSe. Through photoluminescence and transient absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate that photoexcited electrons in WSSe transfer efficiently to graphene, while a portion of the photoexcited holes remains confined in WSSe due to its built-in electric field. This charge separation leads to a net electron population in graphene. These electrons exhibit extended lifetimes due to spatial separation from their recombination partners, offering a promising route to enhancing the performance of graphene-based optoelectronic devices.
