Concomitant induction to few-layer and 1T-rich two-dimensional MoS2 by rigid segment-containing polysulfide as a sulfur source and in situ intercalator.

Abstract

Few-layer and 1T-rich MoS2 is synthesized by a one-step solvothermal process using a rigid segment-containing polysulfide as a concomitant sulfur source and in situ intercalator. The prepared MoS2 displays superior hydrogen evolution reaction activity, providing a facile and mild approach for the development of high performing MoS2 and other two-dimensional lamellar materials.
