Molybdenum disulfide, exfoliation methods and applications to photocatalysis: a review

Abstract

This review provides a deep analysis of the mechanical and optoelectronic characteristics of MoS2. It offers a comprehensive assessment of diverse exfoliation methods, encompassing chemical, liquid-phase, mechanical, and microwave-driven techniques. The review also explores MoS2's versatile applications across various domains and meticulously examines its significance as a photocatalyst. Notably, it highlights key factors influencing the photocatalytic process. Indeed, the enhanced visible light responsiveness of materials like MoS2 holds immense potential across a wide range of applications. MoS2's remarkable photocatalytic response to visible light, coupled with its notable stability, opens up numerous possibilities in various fields. This unique combination makes MoS2 a promising candidate for applications that require efficient and stable photocatalytic processes, such as environmental remediation, water purification, and energy generation. Its attributes contribute significantly to addressing contemporary challenges and advancing sustainable technologies.
