Abstract

The growing research interest and uptake of layered nanomaterials for real-world applications require efficient, reliable, high-quality characterisation methods. Liquid-exfoliated graphene has well-established Raman spectroscopic metrics for mean size and thickness. In association with the high-resolution mapping process described here, distributions of nanosheet properties can be reconstructed. Here, we develop new, robust metrics for length and layer number of MoS₂ nanosheets, developed using resonant Raman spectroscopy, applicable to both liquid- and mechanically-exfoliated MoS₂. The use of metricised Raman mapping analysis, here demonstrated for graphene and MoS₂, facilitates the standardisation of characterisation, allowing the correlation of size- and thickness-sensitive applications’ performance with materials properties.
