PtS2, a member of the group 10 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), has received extensive attention because of its excellent electrical properties and air stability. However, there are few reports on the preparation of single-crystal PtS2 in the literature, and the growth mechanism of single crystal PtS2 is not well elucidated. In this work, we proposed a method of preparation that combines magnetron sputtering and chemical vapor transport to obtain monocrystalline PtS2 on a SiO2/Si substrate. By controlling the growth temperature and time, we have synthesized a single crystalline PtS2 of hexagonal shape and size of 1–2 μm on a silicon substrate. Combining the molecular dynamics simulation, the growth mechanism of single crystal PtS2 was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The synthesis method has a short production cycle and low cost, which opens the door for the fabrication of other TMDs single crystals.
