The electronic properties of thiol‐functionalized 2D MoS 2 nanosheets are investigated. Shifts in the valence and conduction bands and Fermi levels are observed while bandgaps remain unaffected. These findings allow the tuning of energy barriers between 2D MoS 2 and other materials, which can lead to improved control over 2D MoS 2 ‐based electronic and optical devices and catalysts.
