When a chalcogen vacancy is present, the cation in the TMD becomes under-coordinated, leaving two excess electrons that alter the electronic environment of the transition metal adsorbate. This altered ...
To identify the nature of the photoexcited states in our TMOs, we first evaluate the femtosecond–nanosecond transient absorption spectra obtained upon LMCT excitation (Fig. 2a–c). These transient ...
