Bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures obtained by vertical stacking have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applications in thermoelectric and optoelectronics devices. The thermal transport behavior plays a pivotal role in assessing their functional performance. Here, we systematically investigate the thermal transport properties of the MoS2/MoSe2 bilayer heterostructure (MoS2/MoSe2-BH) by combining first-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport theory (BTE). The results show that the thermal conductivity of MoS2/MoSe2-BH at room temperature is 25.39 W m−1 K−1, which is in-between those of monolayer MoSe2 and MoS2. According to our calculated orbital-resolved phonon dispersion curves, Grüneisen parameters, phonon group velocity and relaxation time, we find that the acoustic and low-frequency optical branches below 172.65 cm−1 have strong coupling and contribute mainly to the lattice thermal conductivity. Compared with free standing monolayer MoS2 and MoSe2, the lattice thermal conductivity of MoS2/MoSe2-BH is influenced by the weak van der Waals interlayer interactions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
