van der Waals heterostructures by stacking different two-dimensional materials are being considered as potential materials for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices because they can show the most potential advantages of individual 2D materials.

Comparison of structural and electronic properties between pristine and N-doped titanium dioxide-(TiO2)/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites and their effects on the adsorption of thiophene molecule were performed using density functional theory calculations. To correctly estimate the adsorption energies, the van der Waals interactions were taken into account in the calculations. On the TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposite, thiophene molecule tends to be strongly adsorbed by its sulfur atom. The five-fold coordinated titanium atom of TiO2 was found to be an active binding site for thiophene adsorption. The results suggest that the thiophene molecule has not any mutual interaction with MoS2 nanosheet. The electronic structures of the complex systems are discussed in terms of the density of states and molecular orbitals of the thiophene molecules adsorbed to the TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites. It was also found that the doping of nitrogen atom is conductive to the interaction of thiophene with nanocomposite. Thus, it can be concluded that the interaction of thiophene with N-doped TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposite is more energetically favorable than the interaction with undoped nanocomposite. The sensing capability of TiO2/MoS2 toward thiophene detection was greatly increased upon nitrogen doping. These processes ultimately lead to the strong adsorption of thiophene on the N-doped TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites, indicating potential applicability of these nanocomposites as novel gas sensors.
