The alloying of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is an established route to produce robust semiconductors with continuously tunable optoelectronic properties. However, typically reported methods for fabricating alloyed 2D TMD nanosheets are not suitable for the inexpensive, scalable production of large-area (m2) devices. Herein we describe a general method to afford large quantities of compositionally-tunable 2D TMD nanosheets using commercially available powders and liquid-phase exfoliation. Beginning with Mo(1-x)WxS(2) nanosheets, we demonstrate tunable optoelectronic properties as a function of composition. We extend this method to produce Mo0.5W0.5Se2 MoSSe, WSSe, and quaternary Mo0.5W0.5SSe nanosheets. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging confirms the atomic arrangement of the nanosheets, while an array of spectroscopic techniques is used to characterize the chemical and optoelectronic properties. This transversal method represents an important step towards upscaling tailored TMD nanosheets with a broad range of tunable optoelectronic properties for large-area devices.
