Platinum diselenide(PtSe2)is a promising transition metal dichalcogenide(TMDC)material with unique properties.It is necessary to find a controllable fabrication method to bridge PtSe2 with other two-dimensional(2D)materials for practical applications,which has rarely been reported so far.Here,we report that the selenization of Pt(111)can be suppressed to form a Se intercalated layer,instead of a PtSe2 monolayer,by inducing confined conditions with a precoating of graphene.Experiments with graphene-island samples demonstrate that the monolayer PtSe2 can be controllably fabricated only on the bare Pt surface,while the Se intercalated layer is formed underneath graphene,as verified by atomic-resolution observations with scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM)and scanning tunneling microscopy(STM).In addition,the orientation of the graphene island shows a negligible influence on the Se intercalated layer induced by the graphene coating.By extending the application of 2D confined reactions,this work provides a new method to control the fabrication and pattern 2D materials during the fabrication process.
