In this work, we report that single-layer MoS2 with a strong PL can be prepared by oxidizing bilayer MoS2 using W-ozone oxidation. We show that as compared to mechanically-exfoliated single-layer MoS2, the PL intensity of the single-layer MoS2 prepared by W-ozone oxidation is enhanced by 20-30 times. We demonstrate that the PL intensity of both neutral excitons and trions （charged excitons） can be greatly enhanced in the oxidized MoS2 samples. These results provide novel insights into the PL enhancement of single-layer MoS2.展开更多
