Solvent-Induced Degradation of Electrochemically Exfoliated Vanadium Selenide Visualized by Electron Microscopy.

ABSTRACT: Recently discovered two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials (2DFMs) have rapidly gained much interest in the fields of spintronics and computing, where they may prove powerful tools for miniaturizing devices such as magnetic tunnel junctions and spin-transfer torque memory bits. In addition, heterojunctions and twisted bilayer stacks of such materials may yield exotic spin textures. However, preparation of such devices is complicated by the air sensitivity of many 2DFMs. Here, we report details on the preparation of few-to-monolayer flakes of vanadium selenide (VSe₂) using electrochemical exfoliation in propylene carbonate. We also present a detailed study of the effects of air on the structure and magnetic properties of bare and passivated VSe₂ after different concen
