In this paper, flower-like MoS 2 nanosheets microspheres were successfully synthesized by low temperature hydrothermal process using the precursors of sodium molybdate (Na 2 MoO 4 Á2H 2 O), thiourea (SC(NH 2 ) 2 ), oxalic acid (C 2 H 2 O 4 Á2H 2 O) and de-ionized water. The effects of oxalic acid concentrations and growth time on the morphology and crystallographic structure of MoS 2 nanosheets microspheres were investigated. The morphology, crystallographic structure, chemical composition of the flower-like MoS 2 nanosheets microspheres were investigated by using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, high resolution transmission electron-microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. It is revealed that MoS 2 powders are composed of large, uniform flower-like microspheres, which are formed by several nanosheets gathering together perpendicular to the spherical surface. And the nanosheets are poly-crystallized hexagonal phase. The experiment results also show that the oxalic acid concentration in the precursors plays a key role on the diameter and crystalline of MoS 2 nanosheets microspheres. The formation mechanism of flower-like MoS 2 nanosheets microspheres was discussed.

“…The average diameter of the MoS 2 /Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 NPs shown in Figure c is about 20 nm extracted from 50 nanoparticles . Previously, porous MoS 2 has been obtained by employing hydrothermal method using sodiummolybdate and thioacetamide as source materials . Here, porous MoS 2 was not observed both in the SEM and TEM measurements.…”

“…Particularly, it has been investigated as an effective cocatalyst for improving the photocatalytic activities of various materials such as graphene, TiO 2 and CdS . In our previous work, we have successful synthesized nanostructured MoS 2 and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 . Herein, we developed a one‐pot microwave assisted synthesis method to introduce ≈1 mol% of MoS 2 to Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 NPs.…”

Hydrogen produced from water splitting is a renewable and clean energy source. Great efforts have been paid in searching for inexpensive and highly efficient photocatalysts. Here, significant enhancement of hydrogen production has been achieved by introducing ≈1 mol% of MoS2 to Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles. The MoS2/Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles showed a hydrogen evolution rate of ≈0.47 mmol g−1 h−1 in the presence of sacrificial agents, which is 7.8 times that of Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles (0.06 mmol g−1 h−1). In addition, the MoS2/Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles exhibited high stability, and only ≈3% of catalytic activity was lost after a long time irradiation (72 h). Microstructure investigation on the MoS2/Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles reveals that the intimate contact between the nanostructured MoS2 and Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles provides an effective one‐way expressway for photogenerated electrons transferring from the conduction band of Cu2ZnSnS4 to MoS2, thus boosting the lifetime of charge carriers, as well as reducing the recombination rate of electrons and holes.
