Nonoxidizing organic superacid treatments of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides have been shown to drastically boost their electrical and optical characteristics while passivating and repairing defects. Here, the authors demonstrate that these treatments can also be leveraged to boost the mechanical reliability and atomic-scale electronic uniformity of MoS2 monolayers.
