Abstract The energy storage devices used in today’s society are mainly lithium batteries. At present, the anode material of commercial lithium batteries is generally graphite. Although lithium battery has superior performance compared with other energy storage methods, it still has many problems, such as poor safety, low specific capacity, and slow charging speed. In recent years, although some researchers have proposed graphene as anode material, the results show that although graphene can partly alleviate the above problems, it cannot meet the needs of industrial and domestic applications. Therefore, we investigate the properties of MoO2, MoS2 and MoSe2 as battery anode materials. These three materials have good conductivity, and anions are the same main group. The effects of anionic electronegativity on battery performance can be compared and discussed. We obtain the binding energy, diffusion barrier, voltage, stable adsorption site and corresponding charge transfer of Li on the above three materials by first-principles calculations. We find that MoO2, MoS2 and MoSe2 have their own advantages and disadvantages as battery anode materials. MoO2 has the strongest binding capacity with lithium ion and the closest adsorption degree. MoS2 is slightly inferior and MoSe2 has the weakest binding capacity. This feature will lead to MoO2 having higher specific capacity and the ability to prevent lithium dendrite growth. However, considering the lower diffusion barrier, lithium ion in MoSe2 is easier to diffuse and the charging rate of the MoSe2 based lithium battery would be higher, while lithium ion in MoO2 is not easy to diffuse and the charging rate could be low. In general, the three anode can improve the battery performance in different aspects, and have a wide application prospect.

Solar energy is an inexhaustible clean energy providing a key solution to the dual challenges of energy and environmental crises. Graphite-like layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a promising photocatalytic material with three different crystal structures, 1T, 2H and 3R, each with distinct photoelectric properties. In this paper, 1T-MoS2 and 2H-MoS2, which are widely used in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, were combined with MoO2 to form composite catalysts using a bottom-up one-step hydrothermal method. The microstructure and morphology of the composite catalysts were studied by XRD, SEM, BET, XPS and EIS. The prepared catalysts were used in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of formic acid. The results show that MoS2/MoO2 composite catalysts have an excellent catalytic effect on hydrogen evolution from formic acid. By analyzing the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of composite catalysts, it suggests that the properties of MoS2 composite catalysts with different polymorphs are distinct, and different content of MoO2 also bring differences. Among the composite catalysts, 2H-MoS2/MoO2 composite catalysts with 48% MoO2 content show the best performance. The hydrogen yield is 960 µmol/h, which is 1.2 times pure 2H-MoS2 and two times pure MoO2. The hydrogen selectivity reaches 75%, which is 22% times higher than that of pure 2H-MoS2 and 30% higher than that of MoO2. The excellent performance of the 2H-MoS2/MoO2 composite catalyst is mainly due to the formation of the heterogeneous structure between MoS2 and MoO2, which improves the migration of photogenerated carriers and reduces the possibilities of recombination through the internal electric field. MoS2/MoO2 composite catalyst provides a cheap and efficient solution for photocatalytic hydrogen production from formic acid.

Water adsorbed in MoS2 (wad-MoS2), 1S atom vacancy defect in wad-MoS2 (1S-wad-MoS2), 2S atoms vacancy defects in wad-MoS2 (2S-wad-MoS2), and 1Mo atom vacancy defect in wad-MoS2 (Mo-wad-MoS2) materials were constructed, and their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties were studied by spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) based first-principles calculations. The wad-MoS2, 1S-wad-MoS2, 2S-wad-MoS2, and Mo-wad-MoS2 materials were found stable. From band structure calculations, wad-MoS2, 1S-wad-MoS2 and 2S-wad-MoS2 materials open energy bandgap of values 1.19 eV, 0.65 eV and 0.38 eV respectively. Also, it was found that the conductivity strength of the material increases with an increase in the concentration of S atom vacancy defects in the structure. On the other hand, the Mo-wad-MoS2 material has metallic properties because energy bands of electrons crossed the Fermi energy level in the band structure. For the investigation of magnetic properties, the density of states (DoS) and partial density of states (PDoS) calculations were used and found that wad-MoS2, 1S-wad-MoS2, and 2S-wad-MoS2 are non-magnetic materials, while Mo-wad-MoS2 is a magnetic material. The total magnetic moment of Mo-wad-MoS2 has a value of 2.66 µB/cell, due to the arrangement of unpaired up-spin and down-spin of electrons in 3s & 3p orbitals of S atoms; and 4p, 4d & 5s orbitals of Mo atoms in the material.

The noble, metal-free materials capable of efficiently catalyzing water splitting reactions currently hold a great deal of promise. In this study, we reported the structure and electrochemical performance of new MoS2-based material synthesized with L-cysteine. For this, a facile one-pot hydrothermal process was developed and an array of densely packed nanoplatelet-shaped hybrid species directly on a conductive substrate were obtained. The crucial role of L-cysteine was determined by numerous methods on the structure and composition of the synthesized material and its activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from the acidic water. A low Tafel slope of 32.6 mV dec−1, close to a Pt cathode, was registered for the first time. The unique HER performance at the surface of this hybrid material in comparison with recently reported MoS2-based electrocatalysts was attributed to the formation of more defective 1T, 2H-MoS2/MoOx, C nanostructures with the dominant 1T-MoS2 phase and thermally degraded cysteine residues entrapped. Numerous stacks of metallic (1T-MoS2 and MoO2) and semiconducting (2H-MoS2 and MoO3) fragments relayed the formation of highly active layered nanosheets possessing a low hydrogen adsorption free energy and much greater durability, whereas intercalated cysteine fragments had a low Tafel slope of the HER reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermography with mass spectrometry, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy techniques, and linear sweep voltammetry were applied to verify our findings.

In this study, powder metallurgy process has been utilized to produce the composite materials. Pure aluminium (Al) has been selected as the matrix material for the preparation of composite materials. 4% of magnesium (Mg) has been added as the alloying element, whilst molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is reinforced with a varying wt.% (2, 4 & 6). The intent of this work is, to evaluate some basic mechanical properties (density, microhardness, compression strength and toughness), surface degradation properties (corrosion and wear), and electrical conductivity of the fabricated composite materials. Moreover, SEM mapping and EDAX analysis have been conducted to confirm the presence of reinforcement particles with homogenous distribution in the matrix material and to do the fractographic study of the compressive strength tested samples. The density of the composite material Al-4% Mg-6%MoS2 has been increased compared to the density of pure Al material. Micro Vickers hardness test shows that Al-4% Mg-6%MoS2 composite has 32.86% more hardness as compared to that of pure Al material. Compressive strength of the composite material with the higher wt.% of MoS2 is found to be 181.81 N/mm2, while Al material has only 167.52 N/mm2. The buckling formation during the compression test is avoided in the composite material owing to the existence of MoS2 particulates. The wear loss of composite materials is found low as compared with the unreinforced Al material, owing to the solid lubricant property of MoS2 particles, and hence, coefficient of friction (COF) is also lessened with the increase in the MoS2 wt.%. Also, the MoS2 reinforced materials show good resistance to corrosion due to the presence of molybdenum, which acts as a consistent layer obstacle to prevent the surface from further degradation.

Two-dimensional (2D) pristine and defected van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure (HS) materials open up fortune in nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. So, they are compatible for designing in the fields of device applications. In the present work, we studied structural, electronic and magnetic properties of vdW (HS) graphene/MoS2 ((HS)G/MoS2), Nb impurity defect in vdW (HS) graphene/MoS2 (Nb-(HS)G/MoS2), and Tc impurity defect in vdW (HS) graphene/MoS2 (Tc-(HS)G/MoS2) materials by using spin-polarized DFT-D2 method. We examined the structure of these materials, and found that they are stable. Based on band structure analysis, we found that (HS)G/MoS2, Nb-(HS)G/MoS2 and Tc-(HS)G/MoS2 have metallic characteristics. Also, (HS)G/MoS2 and Tc-(HS)G/MoS2 materials have n-type Schottky contact, while Nb-(HS)G/MoS2 material has p-type Schottky contact. To understand the magnetic properties of materials, we have used DoS, IDoS and PDoS calculations. We found that (HS)G/MoS2 is a non-magnetic material, but Nb-(HS)G/MoS2 and Tc-(HS)G/MoS2 are magnetic materials. Magnetic moment of Nb-(HS)G/MoS2 and Tc-(HS)G/MoS2 materials are -0.24 μB/cell and +0.07μB/cell values respectively from DoS/PDoS calculations, and 0.26 μB/cell and 0.08μB/cell values respectively from IDoS calculations. Up-spin and down-spin states of electrons in 2p orbital of C atoms, 3p orbital of S atoms, 4d orbital of Mo atoms, 4d orbital of Tc atom in Tc-(HS)G/MoS2, and 2p orbital of C atoms, 3p orbital of S atoms, 4p & 4d orbitals of Mo atoms, 4p & 4d orbitals of Nb atom in Nb-(HS)G/MoS2 have major contribution for the development of magnetic moment.

Full textAbstract:
Thinning out MoS2 crystals to atomically thin layers results in the transition from an indirect to a direct bandgap material. This makes single layer MoS2 an exciting new material for electronic devices. In MoS2 devices it has been observed that the choice of materials, in particular for contact and gate, is crucial for their performance. This makes it very important to study the interaction between ultrathin MoS2 layers and materials employed in electronic devices in order to optimize their performance. In this work we used NC-AFM in combination with quantitative KPFM to study the influence of the substrate material and the processing on single layer MoS2 during device fabrication. We find a strong influence of contaminations caused by the processing on the surface potential of MoS2. It is shown that the charge transfer from the substrate is able to change the work function of MoS2 by about 40 meV. Our findings suggest two things. First, the necessity to properly clean devices after processing as contaminations have a great impact on the surface potential. Second, that by choosing appropriate materials the work function can be modified to reduce contact resistance.

In this work, we investigated the geometrical structures, electronic and magnetic properties of S sites vacancy defects in heterostructure graphene/molybdenum disulphide ((HS)G/MoS[Formula: see text] material by performing first-principles calculations based on spin polarized Density Functional Theory (DFT) method within van der Waals (vdW) corrections (DFT-D2) approach. All the structures are optimized and relaxed by BFGS method using computational tool Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) package. We found that both (HS)G/MoS2 and S sites vacancy defects in (HS)G/MoS2 (D1S–(HS)G/MoS2, U1S–(HS)G/MoS2, 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS[Formula: see text] are stable materials, and atoms in defects structures are more compact than in pristine (HS)G/MoS2 structure. From band structure calculations, we found that (HS)G/MoS2, (D1S–(HS)G/MoS2, U1S–(HS)G/MoS2, 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS[Formula: see text] materials have [Formula: see text]-type Schottky contact. The Dirac cone is formed in conduction band of the materials mentioned above. The barrier height of Dirac cones from Fermi energy level of (HS)G/MoS2, (D1S–(HS)G/MoS2, U1S–(HS)G/MoS2, 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS[Formula: see text] materials have values 0.56[Formula: see text]eV, 0.62[Formula: see text]eV, 0.62[Formula: see text]eV, 0.64[Formula: see text]eV and 0.65[Formula: see text]eV, respectively, which means they have metallic properties. To study the magnetic properties of materials, we have carried out DoS and PDoS calculations. We found that (HS)G/MoS2, D1S–(HS)G/MoS2 and U1S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials have non-magnetic properties, and 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials have magnetic properties. Therefore, the non-magnetic (HS)G/MoS2 changes to magnetic 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials due to 2S and 3S atoms vacancy defects, respectively, in (HS)G/MoS2 material. Magnetic moment obtained in 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials due to the unequal distribution of up and down spin states of electrons in 2s and 2p orbitals of C atoms; 4p, 4d and 5s orbitals of Mo atoms; and 3s and 3p orbitals of S atoms in structures. Magnetic moment of 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials is −0.11[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]/cell and [Formula: see text]/cell, respectively, and spins of 2p orbital of C atoms, 3p orbital of S atoms and 4d orbital of Mo atoms have dominant role to create magnetism in 2S–(HS)G/MoS2 and 3S–(HS)G/MoS2 materials.

Nowadays, it has been challenging to develop novel techniques and synthesis processes for hybrid two-dimensional materials. Hence, this research presents an innovative technique for the fabrication of MoS2-Graphene (MoS2-Gr) hybrid nanostructured materials. The graphene was effectively generated in-situ and incorporated into the interlayer spacing of MoS2, which was synthesized by using a co-precipitation process with diethyl glycol as the solvent, followed by annealing the as-synthesized MoS2 at 800 oC for two hours in an inert atmosphere. The integrated graphene enhanced the width of MoS2 interlayers, exposing a substantial concentration of active edge sites in the hybrid material, according to SEM, XRD, HR-TEM, and other characterizations. This research might lead to the development of viable hybrid structured materials for various applications. In addition, this study outlines a novel advanced approach for creating hybrid 2D nanostructured materials with superior characteristics.

It is interesting to understand the effect of defects in 2D materials because vacancy defects in 2D materials have novel electronic and magnetic properties. In this work, we studied electronic and magnetic properties of 1S vacancy defect (1Sv-MoS2), 2S vacancy defects (2Sv-MoS2), 1Mo vacancy defect (Mov-MoS2), and (1Mo & 1S) vacancy defects ((Mo-S)v-MoS2) in 2D MoS2 material by first-principles calculations within spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) method. To understand the electronic properties of materials, we have analyzed band structures and DOS calculations and found that 1Sv-MoS2 & 2Sv-MoS2 materials have semiconducting nature. This is because, 1Sv-MoS2 & 2Sv-MoS2 materials open a small energy band gap of values 0.68 eV & 0.54 eV respectively in band structures. But, in Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials, energy bands around the Fermi level mix with the orbital’s of Mo and S atoms. As a result, bands are split and raised around and above the Fermi energy level. Therefore, Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials have metallic nature. We found that MoS2, 1Sv-MoS2 & 2Sv-MoS2 materials have non-magnetic properties, and Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials have magnetic properties because magnetic moment of MoS2, 1Sv-MoS2 & 2Sv-MoS2 materials have 0.00 µB/cell value and Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials have 2.72 µB/cell & 0.99 µB/cell respectively. Therefore, non-magnetic MoS2 changes to magnetic Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials due to Mo and (1Mo & 1S) vacancy defects. The magnetic moment obtained in Mov-MoS2 & (Mo-S)v-MoS2 materials due to the distribution of up and down spins in 4p, 4d & 5s orbitals of Mo atoms and 3s & 3p orbitals of S atoms in structures. The significant values of the magnetic moment are given by distributed spins in 4d orbital of Mo atoms and 3p orbital of S atoms.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an inorganic-layered material similar to structure of graphite, was randomly dispersed onto the surface of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes to synthesized nanocomposite MoS2/CNT. The as-obtained product was characterized via SEM, TEM, TGA, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopies. It was confirmed from XRD that MoS2 layers with interlayer spacing of 0.614 nm were successfully produced. TEM images and Raman spectra indicated a random distribution of 20 nm sized nanoflake MoS2 on the surface of MWNTs. The electrochemical performance of materials are expected to pave the way for the utilized anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

The two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) material has attracted a lot of attention and research recently because of the outstanding properties including layer-strutured semiconductor material and a direct band gap. These properties make MoS2 to be great potential for application in electronics and optoelectronics. In this study, we fabricated and measured a photodetector made of trilayer MoS2 materials based on nanopore structure devices. The highly crystalline trilayer MoS2 films were synthesized and placed on top of the nanopore. The aluminum metal is then evaporated and contacted to both sides of this MoS2 film to form electrodes for conductivity measurement. The measured vertical trilayer MoS2 photodetector exhibited high photoresponsivity and photogain of about 105 A/W and 105, respectively. It is also found that the photo switching of photodetector is stable and reproducible with fast rise and decay times in milisecond scale. These characteristics make few-layer MoS2 device to work as optical switches for optoelectronic applications.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as a kind of transition metal dichalcogenide, has been widely studied for its excellent compatibility with most of inorganic nanomaterials. Nevertheless, its microscale and agglomeration limit the performance severely. Therefore, the special structure of V-MoS2 has drawn a lot of interest, which can not only reduce the size of MoS2 nanosheets but also improve the valence electron structure of the materials. In this work, SrTiO3@MoS2 composite nanofibers were synthesized by the simple electrospinning and hydrothermal method, and it was applied as a novel material for photodetector. SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, I-T curves, and EIS analysis were used to study the structure and properties of the prepared SrTiO3@MoS2 composite nanofibers. Simulating under sunlight at a potential of 1.23 V, the prepared composite materials exhibited a superior photoelectric performance of photocurrent density of 21.4 μA and a resistance of 2.3 Ω. These results indicate that the composite of SrTiO3 nanofiber adhered with V-MoS2 has a stable composite structure, good electrical conductivity, and photoelectric sensitivity and is a suitable material for photodetectors. This work provides new ideas for the preparation of self-assembled materials and their application in photodetectors.

The paper presents the experimental results of the hydrothermal synthesis composite materials based on the MoS2 and carbon using different types of detergents (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and Triton-X) or microporous carbon. The synthesized material was studied by XRD, TEM, and EDS. The investigation of structural and morphological properties of the obtained nanocomposite material shows that the nanoparticles (the average size of about 40 nm) obtained by detergent-assisted procedure have a multilayer crystal ordered superficial layers where quasi-two-dimensional MoS2 layers alternate with amorphous carbon. The annealing at 500oC in argon caused the formation turbostratically stacked layers of crystalline MoS2 with amorphous carbon located in the interlayer space. The core-shall morphology (carbon nanoparticles on the surface of MoS2 clusters) was observed for composite materials synthesized on the base of microporous carbon.

The electrochemical performance was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge/discharge studies. The F-doped MoS2 as cathode material for rechargeable Mg battery exhibited a good discharge capacity of 55[Formula: see text]mAhg[Formula: see text], with a good rate capability and good cycling stability when compared to pristine B-MoS2. The effective performance of F-doped MoS2 are attributed to the unique structure and synergetic effect between layered MoS2.

First-principle calculations were carried out to simulate the three decomposition gases (SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2) of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) on Ga-doped MoS2 (Ga-MoS2) monolayer. Based on density functional theory (DFT), pure MoS2 and multiple gas molecules (SF6, SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2) were built and optimized to the most stable structure. Four types of Ga-doped positions were considered and it was found that Ga dopant preferred to be adsorbed by the top of Mo atom (TMo). For the best adsorption effect, two ways of SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2 to approach the doping model were compared and the most favorable mode was selected. The adsorption parameters of Ga-MoS2 and intrinsic MoS2 were calculated to analyze adsorption properties of Ga-MoS2 towards three gases. These analyses suggested that Ga-MoS2 could be a good gas-sensing material for SO2 and SO2F2, while it was not suitable for SOF2 sensing due to its weak adsorption. This work provides a theoretical basis for the development of Ga-MoS2 materials with the hope that it can be used as a good gas-sensing material for electrical equipment.

The two-dimensional materials can be used as the channel material of transistor, which can further decrease the size of transistor. In this paper, the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is grown on the SiO2/Si substrate by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD), and the MoS2 is systematically characterized by the high-resolution optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and the field emission scanning electron microscopy, which can confirm that the MoS2 is a monolayer. Then, the monolayer MoS2 is selected as the channel material to complete the fabrication process of the back-gate field effect transistor (FET). Finally, the electrical characteristics of the monolayer MoS2-based FET are tested to obtain the electrical performance. The switching ratio is 103, the field effect mobility is about 0.86 cm2/Vs, the saturation current is 2.75 × 10−7 A/μm, and the lowest gate leakage current is 10−12 A. Besides, the monolayer MoS2 can form the ohmic contact with the Ti/Au metal electrode. Therefore, the electrical performances of monolayer MoS2-based FET are relatively poor, which requires the further optimization of the monolayer MoS2 growth process. Meanwhile, it can provide the guidance for the application of monolayer MoS2-based FETs in the future low-power optoelectronic integrated circuits.

The general preparation method of large-area, continuous, uniform, and controllable vdW heterostructure materials is provided in this paper. To obtain the preparation of MoS2/h-BN and WS2/h-BN heterostructures, MoS2 and WS2 material are directly grown on the insulating h-BN substrate by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method, which does not require any intermediate transfer steps. The test characterization of MoS2/h-BN and WS2/h-BN vdW heterostructure materials can be accomplished by optical microscope, AFM, Raman and PL spectroscopy. The Raman peak signal of h-BN material is stronger when the h-BN film is thicker. Compared to the spectrum of MoS2 or WS2 material on SiO2/Si substrate, the Raman and PL spectrum peak positions of MoS2/h-BN heterostructure are blue-shifted, which is due to the presence of local strain, charged impurities and the vdW heterostructure interaction. Additionally, the PL spectrum of WS2 material shows the strong emission peak at 1.96 eV, while the full width half maximum (FWHM) is only 56 meV. The sharp emission peak indicates that WS2/h-BN heterostructure material has the high crystallinity and clean interface. In addition, the peak position and shape of IPM mode characteristic peak are not obvious, which can be explained by the Van der Waals interaction of WS2/h-BN heterostructure. From the above experimental results, the preparation method of heterostructure material is efficient and scalable, which can provide the important support for the subsequent application of TMDs/h-BN heterostructure in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.

A new high-temperature antifriction composite material 90 % MoSi2 + 10 % MoS2 was developed with a static friction coefficient of less than 0.3. The material is functional at temperatures up 1500 °C under neutron irradiation in an inert gas environment. Modes of initial MoSi2 and MoS2 powder mixture preparation and hot pressing of the resulting charge in a vacuum induction unit in graphite molds were worked out at a temperature of 1600–1650 °C, specific hot pressing pressure of 25 MPa, and holding for 1 h at these values of temperature and pressure. Tribotechnical properties of the material depending on the compression force in the friction pair and on the counterbody material hardness were investigated. It was shown that the higher the compression force and the harder the counterbody material in the friction pair, the lower the coefficient of friction. The effect of temperature on the physical, mechanical and heat-transfer properties of the material was established. As the temperature increases from 20 to 1000 °C, the material compressive strength decreases from 1388 to 739 MPa. An increase in the temperature from 25 to 400 °C leads to an increase in the specific heat capacity from 427 to 596 J/(kg·K) and the coefficient of heat conductivity from 2.35 to 3.41 W/(m·K). Plain bearings made of this material successfully passed durability and reactor tests.

Introducing anchoring materials into cathodes for Li–S batteries has been demonstrated as an effective way to overcome the shuttle effect and enhance the cycling stability. In this work, the anchoring effects of 2H-MoS2 and 1T'-MoS2 monolayers for Li–S batteries were investigated by using density functional theory calculations. It was found that the binding energies of Li2S x absorbed on 1T'-MoS2 monolayer are in the range of 0.31–2.94 eV, which is much higher than on the 2H-phase. The 1T'-MoS2 monolayer shows stronger trapping ability for Li2S x than the 2H-MoS2 monolayer. The 1T'-MoS2 monolayer can be used as effective anchoring material in cathodes for Li–S batteries.

The demand for well-designed nanostructured composites with enhanced electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries electrode materials has been emerging. In order to improve the electrochemical performance of MoS2-based anode materials, MoS2 nanosheets integrated with g-C3N4 (MoS2/g-C3N4 composite) was synthesized by a facile heating treatment from the precursors of thiourea and sodium molybdate at 550 °C under N2 gas flow. The structure and composition of MoS2/g-C3N4 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and elemental analysis. The lithium storage capability of the MoS2/g-C3N4 composite was evaluated, indicating high capacity and stable cycling performance at 1 C (A·g−1) with a reversible capacity of 1204 mA·h·g−1 for 200 cycles. This result is believed the role of g-C3N4 as a supporting material to accommodate the volume change and improve charge transport for nanostructured MoS2. Additionally, the contribution of the pseudocapacitive effect was also calculated to further clarify the enhancement in Li-ion storage performance of the composite.

Carbon materials such as graphite, graphene, and CNT are mainly used as anode materials for LIBs because of their wide surface area and excellent stability in Lithium Ion Battery operation. However, graphite, which is mainly used as an anode material, has a very low theoretical capacity of 372 mAh/g. As high-capacity LIBs are increasingly needed like electric vehicles, many studies are being conducted to increase LIB capacity. For example, research on Si anode materials is attracting attention, and Si has a high theoretical capacity of ~4200 mAh/g. However, since there is a fatal disadvantage of volume expansion in cycle performance, stability can be a major defect in the driving condition of LIB. Transition Metal Dichalgogenides (TMD) materials are attraction a lot of attention as various energy materials such as HER and ORR as well as LIB. Their structural characteristics, low price, and high capacity in terms of energy storage make them very attractive to study as a new anode material for LIB batteries. MoS2 belonging to the TMD material is known to have a theoretical capacity of 670 mAh/g. In particular, MoS2 has a single layer structure, and this single layer structure is coupled by weak van der walls force. These properties are very advantageous for exfoliating MoS2 to form a layer-by-layer form with other materials. MoS2 is known to have a typical 1T, 2H structure. However, MoS2, which exists in a stable phase, generally has a 2H structure and has semiconducting properties. Therefore, it is less conductive than graphene, which can be an obstacle to being used as an anode. MoS2 is known to have a typical 1T, 2H structure. However, MoS2, which exists in a stable phase, generally has a 2H structure and has semiconducting properties. Therefore, it is less conductive than graphene, which can be an obstacle to being used as an anode. 1T structure is known to have very good conductivity because it has conductive properties. Therefore, when used as an anode, it has many advantages in that it has conductivity, but since it is a metastable structure, it can be converted to 2H very easily, so it is not easy to maintain the structure. In this study, the synthesis of MoS2 and graphene composites was performed in one pot using a chemical exfoliation method. In addition, it was possible to stably maintain the metastable 1T structure of MoS2 by using graphene as a support material through a post-treatment process in this process. The diffusion of Li+ was promoted by having a 1T structure with a wide interfacial spacing and high conductivity, and superior conductivity and high capacity were stably maintained compared to a composite having a 2H single phase. Through this, a stable and high-capacity anode material was realized using the high energy storage capacity of MoS2 and the stability of graphene.

The low evaporation temperature and carcinogen classification of commonly used molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) precursor render it unsuitable for the safe and practical synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Furthermore, as evidenced by several experimental findings, the associated reaction constitutes a multistep process prone to the formation of uncontrolled amounts of intermediate MoS2−yOy phase mixed with the MoS2 crystals. Here, molybdenum dioxide (MoO2), a chemically more stable and safer oxide than MoO3, was utilized to successfully grow cm-scale continuous films of monolayer MoS2. A high-resolution optical image stitching approach and Raman line mapping were used to confirm the composition and homogeneity of the material grown across the substrate. A detailed examination of the surface morphology of the continuous film revealed that, as the gas flow rate increased by an order of magnitude, the grain-boundary separation dramatically reduced, implying a transition from a kinetically to thermodynamically controlled growth. Importantly, the single-step vapor-phase sulfurization (VPS) reaction of MoO2 was shown to suppress intermediate state formations for a wide range of experimental parameters investigated and is completely absent, provided that the global S:Mo loading ratio is set higher than the stoichiometric ratio of 3:1 required by the VPS reaction.

In this paper, we report a facile strategy to design and prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supported MoS2 nanoplatelet (MoS2/rGO) via a solvothermal co-assembly process. It is found that in the as-obtained MoS2/rGO nanocomposite, MoS2 possesses unique platelet structure and rGO is exfoliated due to the in situ growth of MoS2 nanoplatelet, leading to a large specific surface area, facilitating rapid diffusion of lithium ions. The nanocomposite is used as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries and displays a high initial charge capacity (1382[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]), excellent rate capability and cycling stability. The remarkable lithium storage performance of MoS2/rGO nanocomposite is mainly ascribed to the inherent nanostructure of the MoS2, and the synergistic effect between rGO nanosheets and MoS2 nanoplatelets.

Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (1L-MoS2) is considered a potential optoelectronic device material due to its ultrathin and direct bandgap properties. However, the absorption of incident light by 1L-MoS2 has shown to be relatively low and is not sufficient to implement high photoelectric conversion efficiency, limiting its practical applications in photodetectors. Due to the local surface plasmon resonance effect, the integration of plasma nanoparticles (NPs) with 2D materials may provide a promising method for enhancing light–matter interactions. Nevertheless, MoS2 may undergo fold deformation when transferred to the plasma structure when prepared via conventional strategies, resulting in the introduction of larger defects. In this work, we reported on a photodetector with enhanced MoS2 photoresponsivity on a flat plasmon functional substrate, in which the Ag NPs were embedded into fused silica (SiO2) by ion implantation. Using MoS2/Ag NPs:SiO2 architecture, the photocurrent of the MoS2-based photodetector was significantly improved under incident light of 375, 532, and 635 nm, with a maximum increase of 72.8 times, while the response time also decreased to a certain extent. Furthermore, the plasma functional substrate had the advantages of environmental stability and repeatable recycling, allowing it to be easily integrated with different 2D materials. Thus, this work offered a viable path for realizing efficient photodetectors based on 2D material.

Carbon fabrics are the new generation promising electrode materials for super capacitors owing to their high electrical conductivity, high chemical stability and low thermal expansion. In this work, 2D-MoS2 nanostructures have been successfully deposited over the commercially available carbon fabric by hydrothermal approach, using silicontungstic acid as an additive. MoS2 nanostructures – carbon fabric was broadly characterized using XRD, FESEM and Raman Spectroscopy. XRD patterns indicated that the fabricated MoS2 nanoparticles can be indexed to hexagonal (2H) and rhombohedral (3R) phases. FESEM images revealed the formation of hierarchical 2D MoS2 nanosheets arranged in a nanosphere like morphology over the carbon fabric. The electrochemical behavior of the MoS2 - carbon fabric and commercially available bare carbon fabric were studied using cyclic voltammetry analysis with different scan rates. The MoS2-carbon fabric exhibited an excellent electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 441 F/g at a scan rate of 10mV/s. The good cyclic behavior with symmetric charging/discharging curves, constant specific capacitance for longer scan rates, suggesting that the MoS2- carbon fabric electrode is a potential electrode material for high power applications.

This study explores the tribological performance of microwave-assisted synthesized g-C3N4/MoS2 coatings. The two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheet is getting prominence in the study of tribology due to its layered structure. The graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheet was made using the calcination method and its nanocomposite with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was produced using a microwave-assisted method. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by some well-known methods, and tribological properties were studied by a pin-on-disc (POD) apparatus. Morphological analysis revealed that graphitic carbon nitride and molybdenum disulfide coexisted, and the layer structured MoS2 was well dispersed on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets. BET analysis was used to determine the pore volume and specific surface area of the synthesized materials. The inclusion of MoS2 nanoparticles caused the composite’s pore volume and specific surface area to decrease. The reduction in g-C3N4 pore volume and specific surface area confirmed that the pores of calcinated graphitic carbon nitride were filled with MoS2 nanoparticles. The tribological property of g-C3N4/MoS2 nanocomposite was systematically investigated under different factors such as applied loads (5N to 15N), sliding speed (500 to 1000 mm/s) and material composition (uncoated, MoS2-coated, 9 wt.% of g-C3N4 and 20 wt.% of g-C3N4 in the composite). The optimal composite material ratio was taken 9%, by weight of g-C3N4 in the g-C3N4/MoS2 composite for a variety of levels of loads and sliding speeds. The results indicates that the incorporation of g-C3N4 in nanocomposites could reduce friction and improve wear life, which were better than the results with single MoS2. This study demonstrates a solution to broaden the possible uses of g-C3N4 and MoS2-based materials in the field of tribology.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a nontoxic, environmentally friendly, abundant semiconducting material which is widely used in the areas of hydrogen storage, gas sensing and, solid super lubricant. It has three major phases called 1-T MoS2, 2-H MoS2 and 3-R MoS2. Among them 2-H MoS2 form is the stable form which has a hexagonal phase structure with an activated edge. Therefore, Activation of the material is possibly changing by making differences on nature of material edges. In this work, we report that influence of duration of hydrothermal process toward the growth of edge sites of 2-H molybdenum disulfide nanocomposites. In this study, we have synthesized three 2-H MoS2 nanostructures by facile hydrothermal route by using Ammonium molybdate, Thioacetamide, and urea as the basic precursors. All the samples were prepared at 200 ℃ temperature by changing the duration of hydrothermal process as 24h, 36h and, 48h. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the phase confirmation and morphological characterizations respectively. Next, Electrochemical characterizations were carried out by using linear sweep voltammetry under the basic medium. Powder X-ray diffraction results confirmed that the prepared three products were at the Hexagonal phase of MoS2 with minor level of impurity. The SEM images show that the as-prepared structures have a Plate-like structure with sharped edges. Then the Linear sweep voltammetry of the materials verified that the high number of sharped edges of MoS2 nanocomposites leads to excellent activity for Hydrogen evaluation reaction (HER). When compared to others, 48 h material has a higher number of sharped edge sites and the best performances in HER. Finally, the sharpness and amounts of edge sites are possible to control with the duration of hydrothermal process and 2-H MoS2 with more number of sharped edge sites were found to increase the performances of HER.

Abstract Flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices are highly desirable for various emerging applications, such as human-computer interfaces, wearable medical electronics, flexible display, etc. Layered two-dimensional (2D) material is one of the most promising types of materials to develop flexible devices due to its atomically thin thickness, which gives it excellent flexibility and mechanical endurance. However, the 2D material devices fabricated on flexible substrate inevitably suffer from mechanical deformation, which can severely affect device performances, resulting in function degradation and even failure. In this work, we propose a strain insensitive flexible photodetector based on MoS2/MoTe2 heterostructure on polyimide substrate, which provides a feasible approach to cancel unpredicted impacts of strain on the device performances. Specifically, the MoS2/MoTe2 heterostructure is deposited with 4 electrodes to form three independent devices of MoS2 FET, MoTe2 FET and MoS2/MoTe2 heterojunction. Among them, the MoS2/MoTe2 heterojunction is used as the photodetector, while the MoS2 FET is used as a strain gauge to calibrate the photo detection result. Such configuration is enabled by the Schottky barrier formed between the electrodes and the MoS2 flake, which leads to obvious and negligible photo response of MoS2/MoTe2 heterojunction and MoS2 FET, respectively, under low source-drain bias (ex. 10 mV). The experimental results show that the proposed mechanism can not only calibrate the photo response to cancel strain effect, but also successfully differentiate the wavelength (with fixed power) or power (with fixed wavelength) of light illumination.

Metal oxide and metal dichalcogenide heterostructure composites are promising candidates for electrochemical use. In this study, a hybrid heterostructure composite electrode material was made using a straightforward hydrothermal process using transition metal oxide (NiO) and metal dichalcogenide (MoS2). The surface of the flower-like structured MoS2 was grown with granular structured NiO, and this heterostructure composite exhibited considerably improved specific capacitance when compared to the pure NiO and MoS2 materials. The pseudocapacitive performance was effectively supported by the heterostructure combination of transition metal oxide (TMOs) and metal dichalcogenide (MDC), which greatly improved ion transport within the material and storage. At a current density of 1 A/g, the prepared heterostructure composite electrode material exhibited a specific capacitance of 289 F/g, and, after 2000 cycles, the capacitance retained 101% of its initial value. The symmetric device was constructed and put through tests using LED light. This finding opens up a new avenue for the quickly increasing the field of heterostructure materials.

Developing advanced electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) has received incredible attention. The suitable electrode for high capacitance and energy density are significant challenges for SCs. This work reports an efficient hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 nanosheets on carbon cloth (MoS2@CC). The large surface area of the binder-free MoS2@CC electrode provides rich active sites and an improved electrolyte ion diffusion rate. The MoS2@CC electrode exhibits good electrochemical performance by delivering a high specific capacitance of 947 F g−1 at the current density of 1.0 A g−1 and retains an excellent capacitance of 96.5% over 10 000 cycles. The high performance of the MoS2@CC electrode can be clarified through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT outcomes reveal that the electrode possesses favorable Li-ion intercalation and adsorption properties. The calculated adsorption energy of −0.352 eV at the hollow site shows the high stability of the system. The low energy barrier of path 1 (0.83 eV) easily facilitates Li-ions in the electrode material, which is beneficial for its fast electrochemical performance. The obtained results of the MoS2@CC electrode present improved pseudocapacitive performance, showing a significant possibility for high-performance SCs' application.

These materials represents two-dimensional (2D) materials which are possess a vertical weak Van der Waals (VdW) interactions sandwiched among the neighboring sheets. These structures of layers offer the chance to be split to free atomic layers. So new class material with two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides which includes PtS2 (Se2) have unique geometric structural, electronic and optical properties are studied. It has attracted the attention of many researchers for its extensive applications in (catalysis, sensing, electronics, and optoelectronics devices). It has been disclosed from the outcomes that these monolayers are dynamically stable according to the phonon calculations. Also, the direct band gaps located at K point for MoS2 and MoSe2 are 1.67 eV and 1.484 eV and for PtS2 and PtSe2 located between Γ-M points are 1.887 and 1.66, respectively. Also, the PtS2 have indirect band gap of about 1.775 eV situated at KΓ- ΓM and for PtSe2 is 1.401 eV at Γ- ΓM path. The results show that the maximum absorption coefficients are between 14×104 and 16.4×104 cm-1 for PtS2 and MoSe2, respectively. Besides, the maximum conductivities are between 2.09×101 and 3.65×1015 1/s for PtSe2 and MoS2, and the major values Likewise, the optical properties determined over rang energy 0.30 eV. The work function is equal 6.197eV for PtS2 and 5.628eV for PtSe2. It has been shown by studying photon dispersion of both monolayers that it is stable because it does not contain imaginary frequencies.

The fascinating features of 2D nanomaterials for various applications have prompted increasing research into single and few-layer metal dichalcogenides nanosheets using improved nanofabrication and characterization techniques. MoS2 has recently been intensively examined among layered metal dichalcogenides and other diverse transition metal-based materials, that have previously been studied in various applications. In this research, we report mixed-phase Mn-doped MoS2 nanoflowers for supercapacitor performance studies. The confirmation of the successfully prepared Mn-doped MoS2 nanoflowers was characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS, RAMAN, and BET research techniques. The mixed-phase of the as-synthesized electrode material was confirmed by the structural changes observed in the XRD and RAMAN studies. The surface area from the BET measurement was calculated to be 46.0628 m2/g, and the adsorption average pore size of the electrode material was 11.26607 nm. The electrochemical performance of the Mn-doped MoS2 electrode material showed a pseudo-capacitive behavior, with a specific capacitance of 70.37 Fg−1, and with a corresponding energy density of 3.14 Whkg−1 and a power density of 4346.35 Wkg−1. The performance of this metal-doped MoS2-based supercapacitor device can be attributed to its mixed phase, which requires further optimization in future works.

In this work, we systematically studied the structure, and electronic and magnetic properties of van der Waals (vdWs) interface Graphene/MoS2 heterostructure (HS-G/MoS2) and C sites vacancy defects in HS-G/MoS2 materials using first-principles calculations. By the structural analysis, we found that nondefects geometry is more compact than defects geometries. To investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of HS-G/MoS2 and C sites vacancy defects in HS-G/MoS2 materials, we have studied band structure, density of states (DOS), and partial density of states (PDOS). By analyzing the results, we found that HS-G/MoS2 is metallic in nature but C sites vacancy defects in HS-G/MoS2 materials have a certain energy bandgap. Also, from the band structure calculations, we found that Fermi energy level shifted towards the conduction band in vacancy defects geometries which reveals that the defected heterostructure is n-type Schottky contacts. From DOS and PDOS analysis, we obtained that the nonmagnetic HS-G/MoS2 material changes to magnetic materials due to the presence of C sites vacancy defects. Right 1C atom vacancy defects (R-1C), left 1C atom vacancy defects (L-1C), centre 1C atom vacancy defects (C-1C), and 2C (1C right and 1C centre) atom vacancy defects in HS-G/MoS2 materials have magnetic moments of −0.75 µB/cell, −0.75 µB/cell, −0.12 µB/cell, and +0.39 µB/cell, respectively. Electrons from 2s and 2p orbitals of C atoms have main contributions for the magnetism in all these materials.

We report the facile hydrothermal synthesis of polyaniline (PANI)-modified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets to fabricate a novel organic–inorganic hybrid material. The prepared 3D nanomaterial was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The results indicate the successful synthesis of PANI–MoS2 hybrid material. The PANI–MoS2 was used to study the extraction and preconcentration of trace mercury ions. The experimental conditions were optimized systematically, and the data shows a good Hg(II) adsorption capacity of 240.0 mg g−1 of material. The adsorption of Hg(II) on PANI–MoS2 hybrid material may be attributed to the selective complexation between the–S ion of PANI–MoS2 with Hg(II). The proposed method shows a high preconcentration limit of 0.31 µg L−1 with a preconcentration factor of 640. The lowest trace Hg(II) concentration, which was quantitatively analyzed by the proposed method, was 0.03 µg L−1. The standard reference material was analyzed to determine the concentration of Hg(II) to validate the proposed methodology. Good agreement between the certified and observed values indicates the applicability of the developed method for Hg(II) analysis in real samples. The study suggests that the PANI–MoS2 hybrid material can be used for trace Hg(II) analyses for environmental water monitoring.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), the second most thoroughly investigated two-dimensional material after graphene, has attracted considerable interest in energy storage applications owing to its exceptional qualities, including its unique crystal structure, low electronegativity, and high specific capacity. In this study, we showed that a simple ball-milling procedure causes significant improvement in the capacitive properties of the bulk MoS2 (BL-MoS2). We characterized the material before and after the milling process using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a BET surface area analyzer to find the material’s structural, crystalline features, and surface area, respectively. We prepared electrodes of BL-MoS2 and ball-milled MoS2 (BM-MoS2) for electrochemical investigation. The charge storage characteristics were examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The BM-MoS2 and BL-MoS2 have a specific capacitance of 114 F/g and 96 F/g, respectively.

First-principles is a quantum mechanical calculation method that does not require any empirical parameters or experimental data input to predict material properties and calculate the electronic structure of materials. MoS2 has extensive applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and other fields. To expand the application range of MoS2 in nanodevices, its photoelectric properties need to be adjusted through methods such as changing the number of layers, doping, adsorption, applying external electric fields, or strain. This work reviews the research progress of first-principles calculations in MoS2 in recent years, mainly summarizing the progress of first-principles calculations in two aspects: applying strain and doping MoS2.

MoS2 nanoclusters/graphene composite (MoS2/GNs) was prepared by one-step hydrothermal strategy in which MoS2 nanoclusters were enwrapped by graphene nanosheets. MoS2/GNs electrode delivered discharge/charge capacities of 890 and 885 mA · h/g at 0.2 °C (200 mA g–1) after 300 cycles, as rechargeable Li ion batteries (LIBs) anode material, corresponding to a reversible charge capacity retention of up to 73.0%. When the current was adjusted to 5 C (5000 mA g–1), the material could still deliver discharge/charge capacities of 612 and 591 mA · h/g. The synergistic effects between MoS2 and graphene contributed to excellent electrochemical performance, which efficiently improved its electrical conductivity, and concurrently inhibited volume change of the MoS2 in the electrode.

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS2) has great application prospects in the field of optoelectronic devices. Defect engineering is an effective way to regulate the electronic and optical properties of 2D MoS2. However, defect controlling on 2D materials remains a major challenge. Fluorine, as the most electronegative element, may cause many interesting phenomena after doping in 2D materials. So far, there have been no reports on the effect of fluoride ion (F− ion) irradiation on 2D material properties. In this paper, the monolayer MoS2 (ML-MoS2) synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method was taken as the research object, and defects with controllable densities were produced by 30 keV F− ion irradiation, in which the defects were dominated by S vacancies. Based on Raman, photoluminescence, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it is shown that the ion irradiation-induced defects significantly affect the optoelectronic properties of MoS2. We also observed the p-doping of ML-MoS2, which is attributed to the introduction of F− ions and the electron transfer from MoS2 to O2 at defect adsorption sites. This study reveals that 2D materials could be effectively doped or compensated using irradiation technology, potentially fabricating novel 2D electrical devices through defect engineering.

To develop the next-generation energy storage systems, lithium-sulfur batteries represent an attractive option due to its high theoretical capacity, and energy density. In this work, MoS2/rGO (reduced graphene oxide) was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and sulfur added by the melt diffusion method. The as-prepared MoS2/rGO has strong polysulfides entrapping, high conductivity, large surface area, and high catalytic activity, consequently resulting in enhanced rate performance and cycling capability of Li-S batteries. The coin cells were constructed with the MoS2/rGO/S cathode material, exhibit a high reversible capacity of nearly 1380 mAh/g at 0.1 C, outstanding cycling stability with a low capacity fading rate. Present work reveals that the hierarchal MoS2/rGO/S cathodes are potential candidate materials for future high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

We developed an efficient method to co-exfoliate graphite and MoS2 to fabricate graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite. The size, morphology, and crystal structure of the graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite were carefully examined. The as-prepared graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite was fabricated into thin film sensor by a facile drop casting method and tested with methanol gas in various concentrations. The sensitivity, response time, and repeatability of the graphene/MoS2 nanocomposite sensor towards methanol gas were systematically investigated. A pure MoS2− based thin film sensor was also prepared and compared with the nanocomposite sensor to better understand the synergetic effect in the sensing performance. Our research demonstrated that compositing MoS2 with graphene could overcome the shortcoming of MoS2 as a sensor material and bring in a promising gas-sensing performance with a quicker response/recovery time and an enhanced sensitivity. Moreover, this composited material with a distinct structure and an excellent electronic property is expected to have potential application in various fields, such as optoelectronic.

The graphene-like two dimensional (2D) inorganic materials have been been shown great interest for a variety of applications. In this work, polymer composite nanofibres containing molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets were obtained by electrospinning. The MoS2 nanosheets were well dispersed inside the fibres, and the nanofibres maintained the fibre morphology well with the MoS2 nanosheets embedded. The incorporation of MoS2 nanosheets changes polymer nanofibre morphology from round to ribbon-like. Moreover, through thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) measurements, it was found that the MoS2 nanosheets as an additive material led to an increase in thermal stability and in the storage modulus. This work comprises an extensive approach to producing a novel 2D inorganic-organic composite structure, which should be applicable for membrane engineering with enhanced thermal and mechanical stability.

Abstract A new adsorbent material MIL-101(Fe, Al)/MoS2 was composed by a solvothermal pathway for the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride simulated wastewater. The material was analyzed through XRD. Influences of adsorption time, initialization concentration, and pH on adsorptive effect were explored. It turned out that MIL-101(Fe, Al)/MoS2 on tetracycline hydrochloride adsorption reached equilibrium at approximately 180 min and the adsorptive amount of MIL-101(Fe, Al)/MoS2 for tetracycline hydrochloride was 118.96 mg/g at adsorption equilibrium. In contrast to MIL-101(Fe, Al), the adsorptive effect of MIL-101(Fe, Al)/MoS2 composite material on TC was substantially improved. The adsorptive process was more in accord with the Lagergren second-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Besides, the TC adsorption on MIL-101(Fe, Al)/MoS2 was better under neutral conditions.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have gained considerable attention due to their distinctive properties and broad range of possible applications. One of the most widely studied transition metal dichalcogenides is molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The 2D MoS2 nanosheets have unique and complementary properties to those of graphene, rendering them ideal electrode materials that could potentially lead to significant benefits in many electrochemical applications. These properties include tunable bandgaps, large surface areas, relatively high electron mobilities, and good optical and catalytic characteristics. Although the use of 2D MoS2 nanosheets offers several advantages and excellent properties, surface functionalization of 2D MoS2 is a potential route for further enhancing their properties and adding extra functionalities to the surface of the fabricated sensor. The functionalization of the material with various metal and metal oxide nanostructures has a significant impact on its overall electrochemical performance, improving various sensing parameters, such as selectivity, sensitivity, and stability. In this review, different methods of preparing 2D-layered MoS2 nanomaterials, followed by different surface functionalization methods of these nanomaterials, are explored and discussed. Finally, the structure–properties relationship and electrochemical sensor applications over the last ten years are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the performance of 2D MoS2 with respect to the performance of electrochemical sensors, thereby giving new insights into this unique material and providing a foundation for researchers of different disciplines who are interested in advancing the development of MoS2-based sensors.

After the synthesis of graphene, in the first year of this century, a wide research field on two-dimensional materials opens. 2D materials are characterized by an intrinsic high surface to volume ratio, due to their heights of few atoms, and, differently from graphene, which is a semimetal with zero or near zero bandgap, they usually have a semiconductive nature. These two characteristics make them promising candidate for a new generation of gas sensing devices. Graphene oxide, being an intermediate product of graphene fabrication, has been the first graphene-like material studied and used to detect target gases, followed by MoS2, in the first years of 2010s. Along with MoS2, which is now experiencing a new birth, after its use as a lubricant, other sulfides and selenides (like WS2, WSe2, MoSe2, etc.) have been used for the fabrication of nanoelectronic devices and for gas sensing applications. All these materials show a bandgap, tunable with the number of layers. On the other hand, 2D materials constituted by one atomic species have been synthetized, like phosphorene (one layer of black phosphorous), germanene (one atom thick layer of germanium) and silicone (one atom thick layer of silicon). In this paper, a comprehensive review of 2D materials-based gas sensor is reported, mainly focused on the recent developments of graphene oxide, exfoliated MoS2 and WS2 and phosphorene, for gas detection applications. We will report on their use as sensitive materials for conductometric, capacitive and optical gas sensors, the state of the art and future perspectives.

In this report, thin layers of MoS2 were in-situ incorporated into graphene oxide (GO) to form MoS2/graphene nanocomposite by a facile ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis revealed that the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets crystalized in hexagonal phase 2H-MoS2 while High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images confirmed that MoS2 layers with average thickness of ~5–6 nm (6–8 layers) attached on the edges and surfaces of graphene sheets with high density and uniform shape restacking in three-dimensional (3D) architectures. The Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum (STEM-EDX) investigation further confirmed the low impurity of MoS2/graphene composite, and the well repairing of defects in GO surfaces during the hydrothermal process. Our approach is promising for a scalable, inexpensive, and accurate strategy to fabricate state-of-the-art materials with a certain structure for various practical applications such as electrode material for Lithium battery or supercapacitor.

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures pave the way to achieve the desired material properties for a variety of applications. In this way, new scientific and industrial challenges and fundamental questions arise. One of them is whether vdW materials preserve their original optical response when assembled in a heterostructure. Here, we resolve this issue for four exemplary monolayer heterostructures: MoS2/Gr, MoS2/hBN, WS2/Gr, and WS2/hBN. Through joint Raman, ellipsometry, and reflectance spectroscopies, we discovered that heterostructures alter MoS2 and WS2 optical constants. Furthermore, despite the similarity of MoS2 and WS2 monolayers, their behavior in heterostructures is markedly different. While MoS2 has large changes, particularly above 3 eV, WS2 experiences modest changes in optical constants. We also detected a transformation from dark into bright exciton for MoS2/Gr heterostructure. In summary, our findings provide clear evidence that the optical response of heterostructures is not the sum of optical properties of its constituents.

The objective of this study was to investigate a mechanism for enhancing the tribological properties of a green polymer material using MoS2, which is a common material with good tribological qualities. In this study, MoS2 nanoparticles were added to the biopolymer hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, obtaining an evident enhancement of the tribological behavior. The suitable content of MoS2 can provide the best structure of the composite film and optimize the transfer layer, and further enhance the tribological properties. The addition of 5–10% MoS2 particles to the polymer can improve the surface roughness up to 60%, reduce the friction coefficient of the thin-film material by more than 40% and reduce the wear rate of the substrate by 65%. The mechanism by which MoS2 additives enhance the tribological properties of the biopolymer material lies in the reduction of the run-in time in the initial stage of wear by modifying the surface roughness. This effect accelerates the formation of a transfer layer of good quality and provides good tribological properties.

Research on hybrid graphene with other two-dimensional materials has gained considerable attention owing to their potential applications beyond single components. Through our first principles analysis via density functional theory, graphene-molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) demonstrated a band gap opening by 2 meV, from gapless graphene when MoS2 layer is introduced into the structure. The simulated graphene-MoS2 has a direct band gap situated at K point of Brillouin zone with preserved Dirac properties of graphene. The experimental studies on graphene-MoS2 also have been performed by preparing graphene-MoS2-chitin nanocomposite through facile liquid-phase exfoliation method. Apart from energy gap using Tauc relation, the physical morphology and nonlinear properties of the material were systematically characterized. Graphene-MoS2-chitin exhibits a modulation depth of 10.5%, which is lower than individual graphene but higher than individual MoS2. Further investigation on the material’s performance was done by integrating the fabricated film into Erbium-doped fiber laser. Stable nanosecond pulse laser operation was realized with graphene-MoS2-chitin hybrid saturable absorber. The pulse width was measured to be 156.4 ns with repetition rate of 1.89 MHz, corresponding to a peak power of 56.13 mW and pulse energy of 8.78 nJ.

The proposed study demonstrates a single-step CVD method for synthesizing three-dimensional vertical MoS2 nanosheets. The postulated synthesizing approach employs a temperature ramp with a continuous N2 gas flow during the deposition process. The distinctive signals of MoS2 were revealed via Raman spectroscopy study, and the substantial frequency difference in the characteristic signals supported the bulk nature of the synthesized material. Additionally, XRD measurements sustained the material’s crystallinity and its 2H-MoS2 nature. The FIB cross-sectional analysis provided information on the origin and evolution of the vertical MoS2 structures and their growth mechanisms. The strain energy produced by the compression between MoS2 islands is assumed to primarily drive the formation of vertical MoS2 nanosheets. In addition, vertical MoS2 structures that emerge from micro fissures (cracks) on individual MoS2 islands were observed and examined. For the evaluation of electrical properties, field-effect transistor structures were fabricated on the synthesized material employing standard semiconductor technology. The lateral back-gated field-effect transistors fabricated on the synthesized material showed an n-type behavior with field-effect mobility of 1.46 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an estimated carrier concentration of 4.5 × 1012 cm−2. Furthermore, the effects of a back-gate voltage bias and channel dimensions on the hysteresis effect of FET devices were investigated and quantified.
