Amorphous Carbon Nanotube-MoS2 Nanohybrids : A New Future Material in the Application of Battery, Supercapacitor and Field-emission Display Devices

Binoy Bera, Diptonil Banerjee

Abstract


The discovery of graphene make the researcher interested towards the other two-dimensional material which has quite similar properties like graphene. Among them, MoS2 nanosheets has extraordinary optoelectronic and physical properties. It has several applications in developing battery, sensor, optoelectronic device etc. On the other hand, amorphous carbon nanotube can be synthesized by using a low temperature chemical process. Due to the easy processing of amorphous carbon nanotube (ACNT), good optoelectronic and physical property based nanomaterial with amorphous carbon nanotube, can be a good replacement of crystalline carbon nanotube in numerous applications. Here in this paper, amorphous carbon nanotube-MoS2 nanohybrids were prepared by hydrothermal method. Beside this, ACNT has been synthesized by using a low temperature chemical process. The as prepared samples (ACNT and ACNT_MoS2 nanohybrids) were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction method, high resolution transmission electron microscope and fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy method.
