The Dynamic Interaction of Surfactants with Colloidal Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets Calls for Thermodynamic Stabilization by Solvents

Abstract: Top-down liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) and bottom-up hot-injection synthesis are scalable methods to produce colloids of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) solids. Generally thought off as two entirely different fields, we show that similar stabilization mechanisms apply to colloids of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) produced by both methods. By screening the colloidal stability of MoS2 produced in a hot-injection synthesis in a wide range of solvents, we observe that colloidal stability can be understood b… Show more

“…UV-Vis absorbance spectra were acquired on an Agilent Cary 5000, using a quartz cuvette (quartz glass high performance QS 200–2500 nm by Hellma) with a path length of 1 cm (optical density below 0.2 at 350 nm) All samples were dispersed in o -DCB for maximum colloidal stability. 29…”

“…On the other hand, top-down methods relying on the exfoliation of bulk MoS 2 crystals appear to be particularly convenient for accessing stand-alone, processable 2D MoS 2 flakes in substantial amounts [ 19 , 20 ]. For example, direct liquid-phase exfoliation of MoS 2 in proper organic solvents [ 21 ] or water/surfactant solutions [ 22 , 23 ], prompted by ultrasound or shear forces, is a common strategy to attain stable colloidal dispersions of MoS 2 NSs in considerable quantities. Nonetheless, this method typically suffers from low exfoliation yields and degrees (NSs comprising several layers rather than single/few layers), thus limiting their practical application potential.…”
