Decoupling Molybdenum Disulfide from Its Substrate by Cesium Intercalation

Tuning thermal conductivity in molybdenum disulfide by electrochemical intercalation

Thermal conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) materials is of interest for energy storage, nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. Here, we report that the thermal conductivity of molybdenum disulfide can be modified by electrochemical intercalation. We observe distinct behaviour for thin films with vertically aligned basal planes and natural bulk crystals with basal planes aligned parallel to the ...

Lithium Dynamics in Molybdenum Disulfide Intercalation Compounds Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Cluster architecture and lithium motion dynamics are investigated in nanocomposites formed by the intercalation of lithium and a dialkylamine (diethylamine, dibutylamine and dipentylamine) in molybdenum disulfide by means of 7Li Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique. The present contribution illustrates the potential of the NMR techniques in the study of both the short range atomic structu...

Decoupling epitaxial graphene by Au intercalation

Swift tuning from spherical molybdenum microspheres to hierarchical molybdenum disulfide nanostructures by switching from solvothermal to hydrothermal synthesis route

Herein, we report the synthesis of metallic molybdenum microspheres and hierarchical MoS2 nanostructures by facile template-free solvothermal and hydrothermal approach, respectively. The morphological transition of the Mo microspheres to hierarchical MoS2 nanoflower architectures is observed to be accomplished with change in solvent from ethylenediamine to water. The resultant marigold flower-l...

Fabrication of inorganic molybdenum disulfide fullerenes by arc in water

Closed caged fullerene-like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nano-particles were obtained via an arc discharge between a graphite cathode and a molybdenum anode filled with microscopic MoS2 powder submerged in de-ionized water. A statistical study of over 150 polyhedral fullerene-like MoS2 nano-particles in plan view transmission electron microscopy revealed that the majority consisted of 2–3 layers...
