The surface functionalization of two-dimensional (2D) materials with organic electron donors (OEDs) is a powerful tool to modulate the electronic properties of the material. Here we report a novel molecular dopant, Me-OED, that demonstrates record-breaking molecular doping to MoS2, achieving a carrier density of 1.10 ± 0.37 × 1014cm–2at optimal functionalization conditions; the achieved carrier density is much higher than those by other OEDs such as benzyl viologen and an OED based on 4,4′-bipyridine. This impressive doping power is attributed to the compact size of Me-OED, which leads to high surface coverage on MoS2. To confirm, we studytBu-OED, which has an identical reduction potential to Me-OED but is significantly larger. Using field-effect transistor measurements and spectroscopic characterization, we estimate the doping powers of Me- andtBu-OED are 0.22–0.44 and 0.11 electrons per molecule, respectively, in good agreement with calculations. Our results demonstrate that the small size of Me-OED is critical to maximizing the surface coverage and molecular interactions with MoS2, enabling us to achieve unprecedented doping of MoS2.
