Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) holds immense promise for molecular detection, yet the quest for high-performance, plasmon-free substrates remains active. This work pioneers the rational design and engineering of phase-tunable MoS2 nanoclusters─metallic (1T), semiconductor (2H), and, critically, hybrid metal/semiconductor (1T/2H) phases as a novel class of SERS platforms. We demonstrate this exceptional capability for ultrasensitive detection of environmentally hazardous dyes (e.g., rhodamine B, crystal violet, and methylene blue). Remarkably, the optimized 1T/2H-MoS2 substrate achieves an enhancement factor of 1.02 × 109, which ranks among the higher values for SERS substrates derived from semiconductors. Crucially, time-resolved transient photoluminescence decay spectroscopy reveals a dramatic 52% decrease in average exciton lifetime (from 3.88 to 1.86 ns) for RhB adsorbed on 1T/2H-MoS2 substrates. This profound decrease provides direct evidence for highly efficient interfacial charge transfer, predominantly driven by the built-in electric field unique to the engineered phase junction. Furthermore, by leveraging the distinct Raman signatures enabled by this heterophase substrate, we achieve the multiplex detection of all five environmental nucleobases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil) in both individual and mixed solutions. This work not only delivers fundamental mechanistic insights into charge transfer-mediated SERS but also provides a practical platform with broad implications for environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and analytical chemistry.

Two-dimensional layered-structure MoS 2 has been explored as the promising cathode materials for magnesium ion batteries benefited by its wide layer distance and satisfactory capacity. However, such strong interaction between Mg 2+ and MoS 2 brings about the sluggish diffusion kinetics and irreversible electrochemical reaction, leading to a decreased specific capacity and poor rate capability. How to adopt its structure engineering and interface engineering to boost the Mg 2+ diffusion kinetics and enhance the electrochemical reversibility of MoS 2 is still a huge challenge. Herein, the amorphous sulfur-rich 1T/2H-MoS 2 mesoporous nanospheres (a-MoS 2+x , 0

Solar water evaporation is emerging as one of the most cost-effective and sustainable technologies for efficient seawater desalination . However, salt crystallization during solar desalination severely limits light absorption and reduces evaporation efficiency. Balancing the desirable evaporation rate and the suppressed salt crystallization is critical for long-term solar desalination, but remains a major challenge. In this work, 1T/2H MoS 2 nanoflower embedded in a macroporous PDMS sponge (MoS 2 /PDMS) was fabricated and used as a novel solar evaporator for efficient and durable solar desalination. Thanks to the broadband absorption of MoS 2 and the thermal insulating PDMS sponge, the MoS 2 /PDMS sponge presents a high evaporation rate of 1.47 kg m −2 h −1 and an evaporation efficiency of 81.5 % in pure water under one sun irradiation (1 kW m −2 ). Importantly, the MoS 2 /PDMS sponge with macroporous structure and wet-state hydrophilic wettability achieves efficient and durable solar desalination in simulated seawater (3.5 wt% NaCl solution), effectively suppressing salt crystallization. This finding offers a new way to design robust evaporators with structural flexibility, efficient evaporation and durable desalting for solar desalination.

Electronic regulation through component precise control at the atomic level of electrocatalysts has a fundamental influence on the efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we successfully demonstrate a ZIF-based charge transfer medium for improving the electrocatalytic activity of MoS 2 towards HER. Benefit for the enough porous structure, superior electron conductivity as well as the synergistic effect from the doped atoms, the hybrids phase (1T/2H) MoS 2 nanoflowers decorated amorphous Mo-CoS x skeleton exhibited the promotional electrocatalytic performance in efficiency and stability. Specifically, an extremely low overpotential of 73 mV at the current density of −10 mA cm −2 and an impressive Tafel slope of 39.2 mV dec −1 had been achieved from the nanocomposites in an acidic condition (0.5 M H 2 SO 4 ). The satisfactory activity improvement can be ascribed to the enhancement of electronic transmission rate as well as the synergistic effects between the doped Mo element and CoS x . This work might develop a new avenue to design highly efficient multicomponent electrocatalysts towards HER.

Solar-driven advanced oxidation processes and interfacial water evaporation represent promising strategies to simultaneously address water pollution and freshwater scarcity. However, conventional photo-Fenton catalysts are predominantly powder-based and suffer from difficult catalyst recovery, inefficient H2O2utilization, and limited practical applicability. Herein, a multifunctional bacterial-cellulose-based composite membrane (BC-MTP) was designed by immobilizing 1T-2H MoS2and a tea-polyphenol/polypyrrole (TP/PPy) copolymer through a blending–copolymerization strategy. The three-dimensional BC network anchors the catalytic components and supports their repeated use, while the BC-MTP membrane achieves 88.2% tetracycline removal using 20 μL H2O2, four times lower than the dosage used for the corresponding powder catalyst. Because dissolved Fe was not quantified by ICP-OES or ICP-MS, the present results are interpreted as evidence of improved H2O2utilization and component immobilization rather than quantitative proof of suppressed iron leaching. The incorporation of 1T-2H MoS2and TP/PPy also provides strong broadband light absorption and photothermal conversion, yielding a solar-driven evaporation rate of 1.34 kg m−2h−1and an energy efficiency of 80.1% under the tested laboratory conditions. This work demonstrates a membrane platform integrating photo-Fenton degradation and solar-driven water evaporation for water-purification applications.

The increasing demand for clean and renewable energy underscores the importance of hydrogen energy, with electrocatalytic water splitting being an efficient method for green hydrogen production. Platinum, while an excellent catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), is hindered by high cost and scarcity. This study explores non-precious alternatives, focusing on MoS 2 due to its “platinum-like behavior.” The 1T-2H MoS 2 loaded on N-doped carbon (NC) catalysts (1T-2H MoS 2 @NC) were synthesized through a one-step pyrolysis of melamine and ammonium thiomolybdate. Comprehensive analysis revealed that the 2H phase formed at 700 °C, transitioning to a biphasic 1T-2H composition at higher temperatures. The catalyst synthesized at 800 °C with a 1:8 reactant ratio demonstrated exceptional HER performance, with an overpotential of 175 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 92.37 mV dec −1 . This study highlights the potential of 1T-2H MoS 2 @NC as a cost-effective and efficient catalyst for sustainable hydrogen production.

A composite catalyst, zinc-doped laser-reduced graphene oxide (LrGO), is synthesized with highly dispersed molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanolayers using laser exfoliation followed by a hydrothermal process. The resultant LrGO–ZnO/1T–2H MoS 2 (GZM3) catalyst exhibits enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic performance and improved stability. It achieves small overpotentials of 94 and 191.5 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively. This superior catalytic activity is attributed to the high electrical conductivity and large electrochemical surface area of graphene, along with efficient charge transfer facilitated by Zn ions between LrGO–ZnO and 1T–2H MoS 2 .

Limited by the poor electronic conductivity and strong interaction between Mg2+ and MoS2, the 2H phase of MoS2 as the cathode materials exhibits a low capacity along with poor rate capability. How to adopt the structure engineering to largely boost the Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and enhance the reaction activity are the current tasks that need to be addressed. Herein, the cation doping strategy is adopted to elaborately design the defective Cu-doped metallic MoS2 nanosheets (Cu-MoS2) via a hydrothermal process. The Cu2+ doping widens the layer distance, induces the formation of metallic 1T phase of MoS2, and ameliorates the structural stability. Thus, the Mg2+ ions diffusion kinetics and the electronic conductivity of Cu-MoS2 are largely boosted. Meanwhile, the MgCl+ in the electrolyte can decrease the reaction energy barrier, and therefore fasten the electrochemical reaction. Therefore, the optimized Cu-MoS2 as the cathode materials toward magnesium ion batteries exerts remarkable magnesium storage properties, evidently superior to the pure MoS2. When cycled at 0.1 A g-1 over 100 cycles, the discharge capacity can reach as high as 369.5 mAh g-1. Even cycled at a high rate of 1 A g-1, the Cu-MoS2 maintains a specific capacity of 267.3 mAh g-1 over 200 long cycles. The related kinetics tests confirm its rapid reaction kinetics and pseudocapacitance dominated charge storage process. The ex-situ XPS and HRTEM data largely verify the conversion reaction mechanism of Cu-MoS2 during cycling. This work provides guidelines for the long-term development of MoS2 in the field of magnesium ion batteries.

Few layer (< 5 layers) MoS 2 mixed with a 1T phase has the characteristics of a large specific surface area and an improved active site distribution. Therefore, it has been increasingly study for the catalytic hydrodesulfurization of polycyclic compounds. In this paper, few-layer MoS 2 with a high proportion of the 1T phase is synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method using a green non-toxic ethanol/water solvent. Results show that few-layer MoS 2 (3–5 layers) with a 1T phase up to 48% can be synthesized in a 50% ethanol solvent. This MoS 2 is used to catalyse the hydrodesulfurization reaction of dibenzothiophene, and the target product conversion rate reaches 84.2%. Among them, biphenyl accounts for 70.2%, phenylcyclohexane accounts for 13.9%, and bicyclohexane accounts for 0.4%. According to the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) distance Ra, the effects of solvents on the structure and morphology of MoS 2 and the conversion of dibenzothiophene hydrodesulfurization are determined. This work is significant for the synchronous synthetic exfoliation of MoS 2 with a controllable number of layers, a higher ratio of the 1T phase and good catalytic HDS of polycyclic compounds.

Heterostructured catalysts with the potential synergies between the polymetallic sulfides and the construction of 1T-phase MoS2 are a promising alternative and contribute to obtain the enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, the porous hybrid nanostructures coupling FeS2 and NiS complexes with 1T/2H phase MoS2 (FeNiSx@MoS2–HZHx) are prepared via a facile one-pot pyrolysis strategy accompanied by hydrazine hydrate (HZH)-induced phase transformation without the assistance of a template. The hybrid nanostructures possessing crystalline–amorphous (c–a) interface need overpotentials of 139 mV to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm–2 (η10) in 0.5 M H2SO4, which have superior kinetics for the HER process with a Tafel slope value of 57.9 mV dec–1. The 24 h continuous HER operated at η10 exhibits negligible deterioration, which has only a decrease of 3 mV at η10 after the 5000 cyclic voltammetry cycle tests, indicating the desirable stability of FeNiSx@MoS2–HZH2. Beyond that, the resultant FeNiSx@MoS2 requires 335 mV at η10. Specifically, the electrochemical and structural characterization prove that the enhanced HER performance is contributed from the incorporation of HZH to form FeS2/MoS2/NiS heterostructures and c–a interface sites coupling with 1T/2H phase MoS2, which provide more exposed active sites benefiting from the larger surface area. The simple and convenient design strategy has certain enlightenment for the development of sustainable energy production.

Flexible and application-oriented surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates are in high demand for trace-level molecular detection in complex environmental matrices. Herein, we report the development of a flexible hybrid SERS substrate supported on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), integrating phase-engineered 1T/2H-MoS2 nanoclusters decorated with Au nanoparticles (denoted as PDMS@1T/2H-MoS2@Au). Benefiting from the synergistic coupling between localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au nanoparticles and charge-transfer-induced chemical enhancement from 1T/2H mixed-phase MoS2, the as-fabricated substrate exhibits strong and tunable SERS responses under multiwavelength excitation. Systematic SERS performance evaluations demonstrate that the substrate achieves high sensitivity with a detection limit down to 10–10 M for methylene blue (MB), excellent signal uniformity with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.57%, and long-term stability with negligible signal degradation over 2 months, outperforming most flexible SERS substrates. Notably, multivariate analysis based on principal component analysis (PCA) reveals selective signal amplification toward MB in multicomponent dye systems, where the first principal component shows a strong correlation with the Raman fingerprint of MB. After spectral normalization, the PCA score plots further confirm the reliable molecular discrimination capability among multiple dye molecules. Importantly, the practical applicability of the flexible PDMS@1T/2H-MoS2@Au substrate is validated by the trace-level detection of the pesticide thiram on real apple surfaces through conformal contact, achieving a detection limit as low as 10–9 M. This work presents an application-focused sensing workflow, from the elucidation of the enhancement mechanism to real-sample analysis, highlighting the great potential of flexible MoS2–Au hybrid SERS substrates for advanced environmental and food safety molecular sensing.

Conventional MoS 2 catalysts face challenges, including weak piezoelectric response, reliance on energy-intensive ultrasound, and limited active sites, reducing their efficiency in degrading organic pollutants. In this work, 1T/2H heterostructured MoS 2 nanoflowers were synthesized via an ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal method, enabling efficient piezocatalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under mild mechanical stirring. The 1T/2H MoS 2 /PMS system rapidly degraded 95.9 % of Rhodamine B in 15 min, with a kinetic rate 4.43 times higher than conventional MoS 2 , and showed excellent cycling stability. This superior performance was due to enhanced piezoelectric polarization at heterointerfaces, which improved charge carrier separation, and the use of low-energy mechanical stirring instead of ultrasound for activation. Optimized interfacial charge transfer pathways also boosted the generation of superoxide anions (•O₂⁻) and singlet oxygen (¹O 2 ). Moreover, immobilizing 1T/2H MoS 2 on conductive carbon cloth enhanced recyclability and operational feasibility, offering a sustainable solution for water treatment technologies.
