Atomically thin semiconductors, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides, show great potential for nanoscale photodetection, energy harvesting, and nanophotonics. Here, we investigate the efficiency of energy transfer between colloidal quantum dots with a cadmium selenide core and cadmium sulfide shell and monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe{sub 2}). We show that MoSe{sub 2} effectively quenches the fluorescence of quantum dots when the two materials are in contact. We then separate the MoSe{sub 2} and quantum dots by inserting variable thickness hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) spacers and show that the efficiency at which the MoSe{sub 2} quenches fluorescence decreases as the h-BN thickness is increased. For distances d, this trend can be modeled by a 1/d{sup 4} decay, in agreement with theory and recent studies involving graphene.
