Abstract

We report on facile hydrothermal synthesis of 2H and 1T/2H mixed-phase MoS₂ nanosheets using different organic sulfur precursors with varying sulfur release tendencies. 1T/2H MoS₂ demonstrated direct solar light-driven photocatalysis and adsorption recyclability, attributed to phase synergy and improved charge separation.
