We present a joint theoretical and experimental investigation of charge doping and elec- tronic potential landscapes in hybrid structures composed of graphene and semiconducting single layer MoS2 . Combining density functional theory with Raman and photovoltaic experi- ments, we show that impurities in MoS2 induce electron doping of graphene. Furthermore, we find that MoS2 edges give rise to charge reordering and a potential shift in graphene, which can be controlled through external gate voltages. The interplay of edge and impurity effects allows to use the graphene-MoS2 hybrid as a photodetector. Spatially resolved photocurrent signals can be used to resolve potential gradients and local doping levels in the sample.
