Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) few-layer VSe₂, V_1−xFe_xSe₂ nanosheets have been synthesized by a high-temperature organic solution-phase method. The thickness of VSe₂ nanosheets can be tuned from 12 to 5 layers by decreasing the precursor concentrations. The few-layer VSe₂ nanosheets show the room-temperature ferromagnetism. The coercivity and magnetization reach 0.024 T and 0.036 mA·m²·g⁻¹ at room temperature. The charge-density wave behavior is also confirmed in VSe₂ by the hysteresis loops and zero-field-cooling curve. V_1−xFe_xSe₂ nanosheets can be obtained by doping Fe(acac)₃ in the reaction process. The room-temperature coercivity and magnetization of V_0.8Fe_0.2Se₂ nanosheets are 5 times higher than those of the pure VSe₂ nanosheets without destroying the structures. The enhancement of magnetization is due to the coupling interaction of 3d orbits between V and Fe atoms. Higher Fe concentration is beneficial to improve the coercivity, which is attributed to the formation of the second phase Fe₃Se₄. This simple chemical preparation method can be extended to prepare the other 2D materials.
