A synoptic review of MoS2: Synthesis to applications

The tunable electric and magnetic properties of 2D MXenes and their potential applications

“…are some comprehensively studied 2D materials due to their intriguing properties such as high electrical conductivity, low density, large surface area, etc. 51,52 Apart from these 2D materials, MXenes have some advantages due to its tunable electric and magnetic properties, e.g., 2D pure graphene has excellent electrical conductivity but demonstrates the poor magnetic properties, not suitable for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding application which requires moderate conductivity and magnetic dipoles to interact with electromagnetic (EM) wave. The hydrophobic nature and high-cost synthesis of carbon allotropes (such as carbon nan-otubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibres (CNFs)) based composites lower its extensive use for EMI shielding material 53,54 .…”

Revealing the role of the 1T phase on the adsorption of organic dyes on MoS2 nanosheets

“…[7][8][9] Among the different types of 2D materials, molybdenum disulde (MoS 2 ) has been one of the most studied materials over the last few years. 10,11 MoS 2 can exist in three phases; two are semiconducting and stable (hexagonal, 2H, and rhombohedral, 3R) and the third (1T) is metallic with a trigonal structure. The 1T phase is metastable and can be transformed into the 2H phase aer thermal treatment.…”

Emerging 2D Materials and Their Van Der Waals Heterostructures

“…First principle calculations are also applied by Qiu et al [28] to demonstrate that the electronic structure and the optical properties of graphene and monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) are changed after they are combined in an heterostructure. MoS 2 [32,33] is the best known material of the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) family that will be treated next. Qiu et al show that the optical properties of the graphene/MoS 2 system are improved compared to those of the two separate single-layers.…”
