Synthesis and characterization of vertically standing MoS2 nanosheets

چکیده
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been attracting much attentions due to its excellent electrical and optical properties. We report here the synthesis of large-scale and uniform MoS2 nanosheets with vertically standing morphology using chemical vapor deposition method. TEM observations clearly reveal the growth mechanism of these vertical structures. It is suggested that the vertical structures are caused by the compression and extrusion between MoS2 islands. More importantly, the vertical morphology of two dimensional (2D) materials hold many promising potential applications. We demonstrate here the as-synthesized vertically standing MoS2 nanosheets could be used for hydrogen evolution reaction, where the exchange current density is about 70 times of bulk MoS2. The field emission performance of vertically standing MoS2 were also improved due to the abundantly exposed edges.

MoS2, as a typical transition metal dichalcogenide, has attracted great interest because of its distinctive electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. However, its advantages of strong light absorption and fast intralayer mobility cannot be well developed in the usual reported monolayer/few-layer structures, which make the performances of MoS2-based devices undesirable. Here, large-area, hi...
