Herein, a mesh carbon-coated MoSe 2 /Mo 2 CT x hybrid material (MoSe 2 /Mo 2 CT x @C) is proposed as an effective catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). On one hand, the highly conductive Mo 2 CT x substrate enhanced charge transfer ability and effectively prevented the agglomeration of MoSe 2 nanosheets to expose abundant active sites. On the other hand, the carbon coating layer further improved the conductivity and effectively prevented Mo 2 CT x from being oxidized in the environment. Consequently, the unique MoSe 2 /Mo 2 CT x @C hybrid material exhibited excellent HER performance. Specifically, the MoSe 2 /Mo 2 CT x @C catalyst only required an overpotential of 108.3 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and displayed excellent durability under long-term cycling in acidic solution. This research highlights the potential applications of MXene-based composite materials in the energy field.

Hydrogen generation via water electroreduction is pivotal for exploiting clean-energy skills. Nevertheless, developing a low price and high-performance catalytic activity substance to take the place of expensive precious metal currently in use is still a precedent condition for technology commercialization. In this study, large-scale hierarchical few-layer MoSe2 nanosheets were successfully grown on the surface of sodium sulfide crystals. The water solubility of sodium sulfide makes it advantageous to generate MoSe2 nanolayers via a simple and inexpensive means. The micron-level sodium sulfide crystal surface has a very critical function in the nucleus formation and development of few-layer MoSe2. The ultrathin hierarchical MoSe2 nanolayers obtained using the proposed approach have preferable hydrogen evolution reaction. Furthermore, it is a fascinating technique that the template can be reused without environmental pollution. This research can be used to manufacture other ultrathin hierarchical transition-metal dichalcogenide nanolayers for high-performance many-sided applications.

MoSe 2 is a compelling narrow-band-gap semiconductor with particular lamellar crystal structure, but which is rarely used as microwave absorber filler. Owing to the analogue molecular structure with MoS 2 , it may be a potential dielectric dissipation candidate. The hierarchical flower-like structure has been wide accepted as attractive morphology due to its possible strong multiple scattering and reflecting abilities for microwave, thus, in this study, we employed a facile solvothermal process to fabricate the unique flower-like MoSe 2 spheres for eliminating microwave interference issue. Further through the precise tuning of morphology configurations of flower-like MoSe 2 , the effective absorption to specific microwave frequency band can be well optimized, even including low-frequency band. The microwave absorption (MA) performance results show that the dense-flower samples could achieve full absorption in Ku-band and blooming-flower samples cover the entire X-band. The hollow-flower sample is good at absorption in low frequency of C-band and X-band. Our work not only develops outstanding microwave absorber candidates through delicate nanostructure design, but also paves a new way for tuning effective frequency band via tailoring morphology configurations.

Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) are considered to be one of the most competitive energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density . However, challenges including poor catalytic activity and durability of the oxygen electrode seriously hinder the in-depth development of LOBs. Adjusting the surface electronic structure of the oxygen electrode provides a new prospect for realizing highly efficient electrocatalysts . In this contribution, we report that atomic-scale palladium (Pd) involving in MoSe 2 (Pd–MoSe 2 ) is capable of adjusting the in-plane electron density of MoSe 2 via spontaneous interface chemical reactions, thereby accelerating the electron migration along the in-plane direction. The synergy between the created Se vacancies and Pd atoms can further increase the electroactive sites on the Pd–MoSe 2 surface, which is conducive to improving the catalytic activity of the electrode and thereby accelerating the kinetics of oxygen electrode reactions. The results show that Pd–MoSe 2 based LOBs exhibit excellent electrochemical performance such as high Coulombic efficiency (97.81%) as well as extended cycle life (1952 h). This work shows that the adjustment of in-plane electron density by exotic metal atom is a viable strategy to improve the catalytic activity of layered transition metal selenide, which provides the possibility of developing highly efficient electrocatalysts for LOBs.

Water pollution arising from heavy metal ions continues to be a major environmental problem, which represents a serious threat to human beings and animals worldwide. New materials that can simultaneously detect and remove these toxic ions are urgently required. Herein, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped molybdenum selenide nanosheets (N, S-MoSe 2 ) were prepared and found to be fluorescently responsive to mercury (II) with an improved adsorption capacity (208.33 mg g −1 ), thereby providing the possibility for the simultaneous detection and removal of mercury (II) in water samples. The great affinity was the result of the complexation of mercury (II) with Se and S atoms in N, S-MoSe 2 as well as the electrostatic adsorption of cation mercury (II) on negatively charged N, S-MoSe 2 . Besides good sensitivity and selectivity toward mercury (II), N, S-MoSe 2 displayed a relatively consistent performance under a wide pH range from 3 to 10. The removal efficiency reached 87.5% with fast adsorption kinetics , and N, S-MoSe 2 could be reused after simple treatment. Thus, this work is expected to provide new material for the detection and removal of mercury (II) in an aqueous solution and offer an insight into the interaction between heavy metal ions and inorganic nanomaterials .

Two dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted intense potential application in catalytic because of its fantastic physical and chemical properties. But, how the metal oxide affects the catalytic performance of transition metal dichalcogenides was not clear yet, which always exists as main byproduct in the synthesized process of hydrothermal method . Herein, we report synthesis of 2H-MoSe 2 nanoflower and 2H-MoSe 2 /α-MoO 3 heterostructure by hydrothermal method. The chemical composition , morphology and crystalline structure of nano-composite were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The 2H-MoSe 2 nanoflower shows more positive onset overpotential around −150 mV and a current density of 32.5 mA cm −2 at −300 mV. The smaller Tafel slope of 2H-MoSe 2 nanoflower is around 69 mV dec −1 reveals the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism for HER. The results of linear scan voltammetry (LSV) curves demonstrated that both of them displayed good stability. This work demonstrated that the metal oxide can reduce the catalysis performance of transition metal dichalcogenides towards HER.

The development of hydrogen evolution catalysts from earth-abundant elements with highly active and stable activity are crucial for the promotion of more energy and cost-efficient hydrogen production . Herein, a facile one-step hydrothermal approach is proposed to fabricate 3D hierarchical microcages composed of MoSe 2 -NiSe@carbon nanosheets for the efficient electro-catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by water hydrolysis. The heterostrucutres were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy , scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The nanohybrids of MoSe 2 -NiSe are constructed by in situ combination of hexagonal NiSe and MoSe 2 , where the high quality vertical heterostructure can benefit the electrons transfer from metallic NiSe to the MoSe 2 matrix, accomplishing the electronic modulation of MoSe 2 -NiSe@carbon catalysts for robust electrocatalytic performance. The optimal MoSe 2 -NiSe@carbon exhibits excellent HER catalytic performance and superior durability in both acidic and alkaline medium .

Cobalt phosphide (CoP) has been regarded as one of the most promising electrocatalysts to generate hydrogen gas by splitting water. However, the electrocatalytic performance of CoP is hindered by its relatively sluggish kinetics. Herein, a novel and effective electrocatalyst based on MoSe 2 nanosheets combining with CoP has been synthesized via a facile method. By electrochemistry test, it is found that all the composites display much better catalytic activities than pristine CoP and pure MoSe 2 nanosheets. In addition, the optimized composite can realize a current density of 155.14 mA/cm 2 at the potential of −300 mV vs RHE and exhibit outstanding stability. This remarkable HER activity may result from the excellent electrical conductivity of MoSe 2 nanosheets and the synergistic effect between MoSe 2 nanosheets and CoP.

A high-performance hydrogen sulfide sensor is introduced in this paper. CuO/MoSe 2 nanocomposites were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method , and the sensing properties of CuO/MoSe 2 composite films for H 2 S gas were investigated at 75 °C. The gas sensor test results revealed that the CuO/MoSe 2 composite membrane sensor outperforms the single material sensor in terms of response, response/recovery time, linearity, and long-term stability. The enhanced gas sensitivity of the CuO/MoSe 2 nanocomposite could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the two materials' p-p heterojunction . Using DFT simulation, it was also shown that the CuO/MoSe 2 composite sensor's ability to adsorb H 2 S is superior to that of CuO and MoSe 2 used alone.

Uric acid (UA), the final metabolic product of purines, plays a crucial role in human health monitoring. The UA concentration in biological fluids serves as a diagnostic marker for various disorders, particularly kidney diseases, and represents a potential therapeutic target. Given the growing emphasis on preventive healthcare, developing methods for real-time UA detection has become increasingly significant. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of novel tumbleweed-like molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) nanostructures through a single-step hydrothermal process. The synthesized MoSe2was subsequently hybridized with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to construct electrodes for UA sensing. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements revealed that the MoSe2/rGO-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited excellent UA detection capabilities under optimized conditions. The sensor demonstrated a remarkably low limit of detection (LOD) of 28.4 nM and maintained linearity across a wide concentration range (40 nM to 200 μM). Notably, the sensor showed high selectivity for UA detection even in the presence of common interfering species, including citric acid (CA), dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), cysteine (Cys), glucose (Glu), oxalic acid (OA), sodium ions (Na+), and potassium ions (K+). The developed sensor displayed outstanding selectivity, stability, and reproducibility characteristics. This synthetic approach offers promising opportunities for developing MoSe2-based electrochemical sensing platforms suitable for diverse bioanalytical applications.

Hybrid hierarchical nanostructures have a significant impact on engineering novel anode materials for boosting the performance of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Here, a hierarchical porous structure constituted by CoSe nanocrystals embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon polyhedron with the embellishment of 2H-MoSe 2 nanosheets (CoSe@NC/MoSe 2 ) is fabricated by a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-engaged strategy and subsequent selenization reaction. The presence of N-doped carbon matrix and bimetallic selenides significantly enhance electronic and ionic diffusion kinetics. In addition, the porous structure provides short Na + diffusion distance and guarantees outstanding structural stability upon cycling. Due to these distinctive features, the CoSe@NC/MoSe 2 composite displays superior cyclability of 305.9 mAh g −1 up to 1500 loops at 5.0 A g −1 and exceptional rate property of 286.1 mAh g −1 at 10.0 A g −1 for sodium storage. When matched with Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C cathode, a SIB full cell can maintain a high invertible capacity of 78.9 mAh g −1 total over 100 loops at 0.5 A g −1 . Moreover, the multistep conversion reactions mechanism is further identified by kinetics analysis, and ex situ and in situ characterization.
