Studying the reason, why single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) appears to fall short of its promising potential in flexible nanoelectronics, we found that the nature of contacts plays a more important role than the semiconductor itself. In order to understand the nature of MoS$_2$/metal contacts, we performed ab initio density functional theory calculations for the geometry, bonding and electronic structure of the contact region. We found that the most common contact metal (Au) is rather inefficient for electron injection into single-layer MoS$_2$ and propose Ti as a representative example of suitable alternative electrode materials.
