Two-dimensional MoS2 Nanosheets: Preparation and Characterization
Abstract
The amazing properties and useful applications of graphene in the field of sensors, electronics and material science opens a new challenges to other two dimensional semiconductor materials. Specially due to extraordinary electronic, mechanical and optical properties, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is attracting huge interest in several applications. Single layer MoS2 with direct band gap shows better semiconductor behavior such as photoluminescence, makes them more acceptable in optoelectronic applications in comparison with graphene which is an indirect band gap material. In this paper MoS2 nanosheets has been prepared by simple one step hydrothermal and electrochemical exfoliation process. Hexaammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate and thiourea were used as principle material in hydrothermal method. Here hexaammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate and thiourea are acting as a source of molybdenum and sulfur respectively. Temperature and time plays a crucial role in hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 nanosheets. Here nanosheets were prepared with 20hrs time and temperature of 2000C. Furthermore, nanosheets were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis and TGA-DTA analysis. In electrochemical exfoliation process, Bulk MoS2 crystal can been used as a cathode while a lithium foil was used as an anode material. Here only surface analysis were done by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) method. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) has also been used for clear understanding of MoS2 nanosheets. A little literature about the electrochemical process for synthesis of MoS2 nanosheets were also presented.
