Facile Hydrothermal Synthesis of Monodispersed MoS2Ultrathin Nanosheets Assisted by Ionic Liquid Brij56

Monodispersed MoS2ultrathin nanosheets have been successfully fabricated by a facile hydrothermal process assisted by ionic liquid Brij56. The effect of Brij56 on the morphology and structure of MoS2has been obviously observed. XRD shows that the as-prepared MoS2assisted by Brij56 has the weak and broad peak of (002) planes, which implies the small size and well dispersed structure of MoS2nanosheets. TEM and SEM images reveal that MoS2ultrathin nanosheets have small size and few stacking layers with the adding of Brij56. HRTEM images prove that MoS2appears to have a highly monodispersed morphology and to be monolayer ultrathin nanosheets with the length about 5–8 nm, which can provide more exposed rims and edges as active sites for hydrogen evolution reaction. Brij56 has played a crucial role in preparing monodispersed MoS2ultrathin nanosheets as excellent electrocatalysts. The growth mechanism of monodispersed MoS2has been discussed in detail.

MoS2with rose-like morphology have been successfully synthesized using by an ionic liquid-directed hydrothermal synthesis. XRD results showed that the as-prepared MoS2directed by ionic liquid Brij56 have the good peaks. SEM images revealed that the MoS2nanoflowers had rose-like morphology composed of many stacked sheets. TEM images showed that MoS2nanoflowers have incompactly petal-like stacked structure. These results showed that ionic liquid Brij56 could effectively influence the morphology of MoS2. Ionic liquid played a crucial role as a structure-directed reagent in the formation of MoS2nanoflowers and the possible growth mechanism of MoS2nanoflowers was also discussed.

Layered Mos2

P25 loaded few layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets (P25@MoS2) are successfully synthesized through a facile one-step hydrothermal process. The bi-catalytic activities, i.e., photocatalytic and electrocatalytic activities, of the as-prepared nanomaterials have been investigated. For the as-prepared products, the photocatalytic performances were investigated by degrading simulated pollutant under sunlight irradiation, and the hydrogen evolution reaction evaluated the electrocatalytic performances. The results indicate that P25@MoS2 possesses excellent activities in both photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The presence of MoS2 broadens the light absorption range of P25 and improves the separation and transformation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, thus improving its photocatalytic performance. The existence of P25 inhibits the aggregation of MoS2 to form more dispersed MoS2 nanosheets with only few layers increasing its active sites. Thereby, the electrocatalytic performance is heightened. The excellent multifunction makes the as-prepared P25@MoS2 a promising material in the fields of environment and energy.

The composites of sulphide and reduced graphene oxide (NiS/MoS2-rGO) were synthesized through a facile solvent-assisted hydrothermal method. The introduction of NiS was paramount not only in enhancing the conductivity of whole catalysts but also in modulating the layer structures of MoS2 with additional active sites. Moreover, the NiS and rGO functioned together in controlling the morphology of as-prepared composites, resulting in uniformly distributed NiS/MoS2 nanosheets perpendicular to rGO scaffold. This further contributed to the excellent hydrogen evolution performance of the composites with a small onset overpotential of 80[Formula: see text]mV and Tafel slope as low as 65[Formula: see text]mV/decade.

FePO4·2H2O with orthorhombic flower-like microstructure was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process which was of low-cost and easy processing in large area. The formation mechanism of the flower-like FePO4·2H2O was discussed in details by investigating the different concentration of reactants and reaction time. The results show that the morphology of FePO4·2H2O changed from microsphere to flower-like structure, which possess an unique morphology with six petals and the angle of each petal being 60o. The formation mechanism of FePO4·2H2O flowers can be explained by the dissolution-recrystallization and crystal splitting.
