Rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) has recently garnered great research interest due to its distorted 1T structure, anisotropic physical properties, and applications in polarization-sensitive photodetectors. However, ReSe2 synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is usually a multilayer/polycrystalline material containing numerous grain boundaries, thereby hindering its further applications. Here we describe the direct CVD growth of high-quality monolayer ReSe2 single crystals with a parallelogram shape arising from its anisotropic structure on a gold foil substrate. In particular, we use low-energy electron microscopy/diffraction combined with scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy to determine the atomic-scale structure, domain orientation/boundaries, and band features of monolayer ReSe2 flakes grown directly on gold foils. This work may open new opportunities for the direct synthesis and in situ characterization of CVD-grown monolayer ReSe2.
