• Advanced method for configuration classification of layers-composite is presented.
• Graphene corrugation modulates the stacking arrangement of graphene and MoS2.
• The bandgaps of all types graphene and MoS2 nanocomposite are opened.
• All types graphene and MoS2 nanocomposites display an enhanced light absorption.
The properties of graphene absorption on graphene-like material can be modulated by the stacking arrangement. Here, we propose a “least squares” classification method for analyzing configuration types of graphene/molybdenum disulfide heterobilayers (G/MoS2 HBLs) while binding energy, electronic structure and optical absorption of G/MoS2 HBLs are investigated via first principles calculations. Owing to the lattice mismatch, no traditional AA and AB stacking exist but AA- and AB-stacking-like configurations have been found. Paradoxically, AB-stacking-like configuration, generally as the most stable stacking sequence, does not correspond to the relaxed structure. We interpret this paradox in terms of graphene corrugation. A detailed analysis of the electronic structure indicates that bandgaps of all configurations types (types of G/MoS2 HBLs) are opened and tunable under the different interlayer distance. Furthermore, compared with monolayer MoS2, G/MoS2 HBLs display an enhanced light response, a promising feature for photocatalytic applications.
