a b c Fig. S1. (a) UV/visible spectra of MoSe 2 nanosheets synthesized with varying sonication times in the range 6 to 24 h. The inset clearly shows that the excitonic peaks A and B due to MoSe 2 are produced by the nanosheet samples for all sonication times. TEM images of the MoSe 2 nanosheets obtained with sonication for (b) 20 h and (c) 24 h, which show that the MoSe 2 nanosheets are a few layers in thickness and that they are thinner for the longer sonication time.

a b 15.8 ev 1.3 ev Fig. S3. (a) and (b) are ultra-violet photoemission spectra (UPS) and X-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) of synthesized MoSe 2 QDs, respectively. The photoemission spectra were excited by Helium I with a photon energy of 21.2 ev. From the tangent of the off-set curve in UPS spectrum in Fig. S3(a), we estimated the cutoff value as ~15.8 ev that would correspond to the kinetic energy (K.E.) of photoemitted electrons. Using the binding energy (E b ) measured from the XPS spectrum in Fig. S3(b) we estimated the position of valence band maximum (VBM) at 1.3 ev below from the Fermi level. 1 The work function (Φ) of MoSe 2 QDs was estimated to be 4.1 ev by using the equation 1. The estimated value of Φ of the MoSe 2 QD was similar to 2, 3, 4 reported values of MoSe 2 monolayers and nanosheets. Φ = hν (21.2 ev) - K.E.- E b (1) S4
1 Fig. S4. Raman spectra of pristine 1L-WSe 2 with two characteristic Raman modes, the E 2g mode at 249 cm 1 and the A 1g mode at 260 cm 1. The difference between the positions of the peaks of the E 1 2g and A 1g modes, 11 cm 1 and the absence of the B 1 2g mode, which normally appears for multilayer WSe 2 at ~309 cm 1 (indicated by the arrow), confirm the 1L thickness of our sample. 5 S5
