In this study, by combining a large-area MoS2 monolayer with silver plasmonic nanostructures in a deformable polydimethylsiloxane substrate, we theoretically and experimentally studied the photoluminescence (PL) enhancement of MoS2 by surface lattice resonance (SLR) modes of different silver plasmonic nanostructures. We also observed the stable PL enhancement of MoS2 by silver nanodisc arrays under differently applied stretching strains, caused by the mechanical holding effect of the MoS2 monolayer. We believe the results presented herein can guarantee the possibility of stably enhancing the light emission of transition metal dichalcogenides using SLR modes in a deformable platform.
