Dye sensitized solar cell（DSSC） is a promising thin film solar cell that has been widely investigated after its birth because of its advantages,such as flexibility,low-cost,easyfabrication and so on[1-3].For DSSCs,sensitizers play a core role due to their responsibility for the generation of the photo carriers resulted from light absorption and the transfer of the photo-generated electrons into semiconductor photoanodes[4].Keywords：Light-harvesting complex Ⅱ; Anthraquinone 2-carboxylic acid; ZnO; TiO2 nanostructure; Solar cell
Hybrid structures composed of layered materials have received much attention due to their exceptional tunable optical, electronic and catalytic properties. Here, we describe a hydrothermal strategy for coupling vertical ZnO nanorods on MoS2 monolayers without a catalyst. These vapor-solid-grown MoS2 monolayers aid in growing vertical ZnO nanorods via epitaxy. Enhanced Raman and photoluminescence emissions were observed from the MoS2 monolayers under the ZnO nanorods in these coupled structures, which was attributed to the light antenna effect of the ZnO nanorods. These hybrid and incorporation protocols for layered materials will provide new perspectives and opportunities for promoting the construction of heterojunctions with adjustable layered structures leading to fascinating fundamental phenomena and advanced devices.
