Abstract There has been considerable progress in the field of semiconductor photocatalysis; nevertheless, developing low-cost and high-activity photocatalysts are still a challenge at the present. Here, a series of graphene/MoS 2 /Fe 2 O 3 ternary composites (MG/Fe 2 O 3 ) were prepared via a two-step simple hydrothermal process using H 2 MoO 4 , CH 4 N 2 S, graphene oxide, and Fe(NO 3 ) 3 ·9H 2 O as the starting materials, respectively. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectra, and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were adopted to characterize the as-prepared samples. The results suggested that MoS 2 /graphene hybrids were successfully composited with Fe 2 O 3 . A redshift of absorption edge in the light region and more absorption in the visible light region were confirmed for the prepared ternary composites. The highest photocatalytic activity of MG/Fe 2 O 3 composites (3.01 × 10 −3 min −1 ) was observed, which was 1.5 times higher than that of pure Fe 2 O 3 (1.97 × 10 −3 min −1 ). The effect of ultrasound on photocatalytic reactions was investigated, and its photodegradation rate was improved 2.2 times than the photoreactor system without sonication. The results indicated that the positive synergetic effect of the MoS 2 and graphene components in this hybrid cocatalyst, which extended the light response and acted as a charges transfer medium, respectively, is the key to improve photocatalytic performance of Fe 2 O 3 . This research may provide new concepts for the design of high-efficiency photocatalysts and broaden the potential of application of Fe 2 O 3 in photocatalytic fields. Graphical Abstract MoS 2 /graphene/Fe 2 O 3 nanocomposites were successfully fabricated via a simple two-step hydrothermal process and a considerably enhanced activity of visible light-induced photodecomposition of MB was demonstrated.

Bacterial infection and antibiotic resistance bring great trouble to anti-infective treatment. Therefore, it is urgent to develop antibacterial materials with high efficiency as alternatives. Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of peroxidase-like CoP/MoS2 catalysts to strikingly enhance the photocatalytic antibacterial activity. After excitation by LED light, the CoP/MoS2 heterojunction composite exhibited a photocatalytic sterilizing rate of 97.2% toward S. aureus with a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Based on the theoretical discussion and experimental result analysis, it is concluded that the sharp edges of MoS2 nanosheets, excellent hydrophilicity of CoP/MoS2, and incorporation with the generation of reactive oxygen radicals endow the catalyst with rapid and effective photocatalytic bacterial killing activity. This study provides a promising strategy by using adhesive nanozymes in close proximity to the bacteria surface, which will guide the design and synthesis of heterojunction photocatalysts with nanozymes activity and high photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency.

Defect engineering is a promising means to create patterns on two-dimensional (2D) materials to enable unconventional properties. However, defects usually exist abundantly and randomly on 2D materials, which makes it difficult to tune the properties in a controllable manner. Therefore, it is highly desirable to find out the formation mechanism and controllable fabrication method of defects on 2D materials. In this report, we systematically investigated the line defects on monolayer MoS2 formed by introducing oxygen during the CVD growth. The line defects were formed due to the overoxidation of the MoS2 flake along crystal boundaries, which bulged out of the surface and had the same surface potential as the basal plane. Therefore, the MoS2 flake with line defects maintained the optical and electrical integrity but exhibited distinct properties as compared to the pristine one. By controlling the oxygen concentration during CVD growth, the density of the line defects can be precisely controlled to implement controllable property tuning. Moreover, during the transfer process, the MoS2 flake was easily broken along the line defects, which increased the active sites to achieve enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction performance. This work is expected to inspire the development of patterned functional 2D materials by defect engineering.

The structure and morphology of the substrate surface play critical roles in tuning the properties of the supported two-dimension materials (2DM). In this work, a simple strategy to engineer the SrTiO 3 single crystal into a trenched structure which is composed of atomically flat terraces and high steps of several nanometers is developed. Through the conventional chemical vapor deposition method, high quality single-layered MoS 2 nanosheets are successfully fabricated directly on the trenched SrTiO 3 (Tr-STO) substrate, which thus result in a heterostructure with well-defined interface and controllable corrugated morphology. The corrugated MoS 2 /Tr-STO sample displays a drastically suppressed photoluminescence as compared to those grown on atomically flat substrates. Detailed scanning probe microscopy in combination with optical spectroscopy measurements demonstrates that the photoluminescence quenching occurs exclusively in the MoS 2 area carpeting the high SrTiO 3 steps, which can be attributed to the significantly reduced bandgaps hence massively enriched free charges in these regions. This work not only provides a new strategy to tailor the 2DM properties by simply engineering the substrate surface corrugations, but also brings deep insights into the dependence of properties of the hybridized system on the interface morphologies.

This study aimed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of composite coatings with MoS 2 doping. Herein, the jet electrodeposition technique was used to prepare Ni/WC-MoS 2 composite coatings with different MoS 2 doping concentrations. Then, the composition, morphology, surface contact angle and so on, of coatings’ surfaces were characterised. The corrosion behaviour of the composite coatings with different nano-MoS 2 doping concentrations was investigated in 3.5 wt% NaCl. The corrosion mechanism of composite coatings in the corrosion process was also analysed. Results indicated that the MoS 2 -doped composite coatings had fewer surface micro-defects than Ni/WC coatings. Micro-nano structures such as ‘cauliflower’ and ‘nodules’ occurred on the coating’s surface with MoS 2 doping. As the MoS 2 doping concentration increased, the hydrophobic surface angle of the coating could be increased up to 132.5 °. After the corrosion test in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the surface of the composite coating without MoS 2 doping showed severe pitting corrosion. Therefore, the hydrophobicity allowed the Ni/WC-MoS 2 composite coating to offer excellent corrosion resistance with a predominantly uniform corrosion mechanism. The improved corrosion resistance of the composite coatings was attributed to the enhanced surface morphology and hydrophobicity . The more pronounced surface roughness and hydrophobicity helped the coating to trap air and form ‘air pockets’ when in contact with the corrosive medium, thereby blocking the corrosion process of Cl - . The Ni/WC-5 g/L MoS 2 composite coating had more positive corrosion potential ( Ecorr ) than other coatings, with a minimum corrosion current density ( I corr ) and corrosion rate ( CR ) of 0.0193 μA·cm −2 and 2.2446E-4 mm/a, respectively. Thus, the Ni/WC-MoS 2 composite coatings behaved with better corrosion resistance than Ni/WC composite coatings.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been widely investigated for optoelectronic applications. Here, by employing the nanocasting method, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanostructures, including supercrystals, nanoparticles and nanowires, are synthesized with curved features by changing the precursor concentration and template types. The Raman properties of different MoS2 nanostructures are investigated by varying the laser power under both resonant and non-resonant excitations. The defect disorder induced LA(M) mode and other silent Raman modes in planar 2D materials are clearly observed under the resonant excitation. We believe that the varying optical properties of TMDC nanostructures will greatly broaden the optoelectronic applications of 2D materials.

The oriented conversion of CH4 to CH3COOH at low temperature, even room temperature, is both scientifically significant and industrially applicable for CH4 utilization, yet it is extremely challenging due to the difficulties associated with efficient CH4 activation and controllable C–C coupling. In this study, we for the first time achieve the room-temperature conversion of CH4 to CH3COOH using molecular O2 and CO over MoS2-confined Rh–Fe sites, which delivers an unprecedented CH3COOH selectivity of 90.3% and a productivity of 26.2 μmol gcat.–1 h–1 at 25 °C. Furthermore, the productivity of CH3COOH can be enhanced to 105.6 μmol gcat.–1 h–1 at 80 °C, while maintaining a high selectivity of 95.6%. Comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation reveal the critical role of Rh–Fe synergy in the selective formation of CH3COOH. The confined Fe sites in MoS2 enable the activation of O2 to generate highly reactive Fe═O center for CH4 dissociation to CH3 species at room temperature, which then readily couple with adsorbed CO on adjacent Rh sites to form the key CH3CO intermediate for CH3COOH production. The unique structure of Rh–Fe sites offers synergistic catalytic properties that effectively balance C–H activation and C–C coupling, successfully addressing the trade-off between activity and selectivity in the carbonylation of CH4 to CH3COOH under mild conditions.

CdS-based composites as the highly efficient photocatalyst have been extensively investigated in recent years due to the suitable band gap and high photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, the effect of various factors (pH, U(VI) concentration, contents, and types of photocatalyst) on photocatalytic reduction of U(VI) by MoS 2 /CdS composite was investigated. The optimized experimental conditions (e.g., pH 7.0, 20 mg/g U(VI), and 1.0 g/L photocatalyst) was obtained by batch techniques. Approximately 97.5% of U(VI) was photo-catalytically reduced into U(IV) by 2.5 wt% MoS 2 /CdS composite within 15 min. After 5 cycles, 2.5 wt% MoS 2 /CdS composite still exhibited the high removal efficiency of U(VI) under 50-min irradiation, indicating the good stability. The photo-reduction mechanism of U(VI) on MoS 2 /CdS composite was attributed to the O − 2 radicals by quenching experiments, ESR, and XPS analysis. The findings indicate that CdS-based catalyst has a great potential for the photocatalytic reduction of uranyl in actual environmental remediation.

Fenton technology is effective in removing high-risk roxarsone (ROX) from the environment. In this study, MoS 2 -modified magnetic iron oxides were successfully synthesized to serve as catalysts for the photo-Fenton system to efficiently degrade ROX. Under light illumination, these catalysts demonstrated strong arsenic adsorption characteristics and photocatalytic activity. The catalyst 6Mo-Fe achieved a 96.15% removal of 20 mg/L ROX and an 88.95% removal of total arsenic within 120 minutes. The study evaluated the effects of catalyst dosage, H 2 O 2 dosage, initial pH, and common anions on the degradation efficiency. The integration of MoS 2 significantly improved the forbidden band width, light absorption capacity, and electrochemical impedance of iron oxides, facilitating the separation and transfer of charge carriers. MoS 2 provided abundant Mo 4+ reduction sites for Fe 3+ , which, in conjunction with the photocatalytic reaction, promoted the cyclic conversion between Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ , thereby markedly increasing the reaction rate. This study presents an innovative approach using MoS 2 -modified iron oxides for the sustainable and eco-friendly degradation of organoarsenic compounds.

The three-dimensional (3D) architecture of electrode materials with excellent stability and electrochemical activity is extremely desirable for high-performance supercapacitors. In this study, we develop a facile method for fabricating 3D self-supporting Ti3C2 with MoS2 and Cu2O nanocrystal composites for supercapacitor applications. MoS2 was incorporated in Ti3C2 using a hydrothermal method, and Cu2O was embedded in two-dimensional nanosheets by in situ chemical reduction. The resulting composite electrode showed a synergistic effect between the components. Ti3C2 served as a conductive additive to connect MoS2 nanosheets and facilitate charge transfer. MoS2 acted as an active spacer to increase the interlayer space of Ti3C2 and protect Ti3C2 from oxidation. Cu2O effectively prevented the collapse of the lamellar structure of Ti3C2–MoS2. Consequently, the optimized composite exhibited an excellent specific capacitance of 1459 F g–1 at a current density of 1 A g–1. Further, by assembling an all-solid-state flexible supercapacitor with activated carbon, a high energy density of 60.5 W h kg–1 was achieved at a power density of 103 W kg–1. Additionally, the supercapacitor exhibited a capacitance retention of 90% during 3000 charging–discharging cycles. Moreover, high mechanical robustness was retained after bending at different angles, thereby suggesting significant potential applications for future flexible and wearable devices.

Recently, the use of a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet as a sensing platform has attracted more and more scientists' attention due to its graphene-like structure and excellent physical/chemical properties. Herein, the performances of MoS2-based electrochemical sensors were improved by decorating noble metallic nanoparticles on the surface of the MoS2 nanosheet. Taking catechol (CC) as an analyte, it could be found that the MoS2 nanosheet and its derivatives have excellent electrocatalytic abilities toward CC. More interestingly, the gold nanoparticles-decorated MoS2 nanosheet (Au–MoS2), platinum nanoparticles-decorated MoS2 nanosheet (Pt–MoS2) and gold–platinum core–shell nanoparticles-decorated MoS2 nanosheet (Au@Pt–MoS2) modified electrodes exhibited better detection performances than the pure MoS2 nanosheet and metallic nanoparticles modified electrodes due to their synergistic effect. As expected, the Au@Pt–MoS2 nanocomposites modified electrode exhibited the linear range of 2–1000 μM and the detection limit of 0.44 μM for CC detection, which was better than all MoS2-based nanomaterials. All the MoS2-based electrochemical sensing platforms were employed to determine CC both in buffer and in real samples with satisfactory results, suggesting MoS2-based nanomaterials maybe the potential candidates for constructing electrochemical sensors for chemical and biological molecules detection.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ultrasensitive fingerprint spectroscopy technique. The combined application of SERS and nanozymes has shown excellent prospects in the field of biomedical diagnosis. In the present study, polyaniline@MoS2@Fe3O4@Au (PANI@MoS2@Fe3O4@Au) nanozymes were successfully prepared using hydrothermal reactions. PANI@MoS2@Fe3O4@Au nanozymes have not only dramatically enhanced the peroxidase-like activity but also significantly enhanced the SERS performance. We also studied the effect of different concentrations of HAuCl4·4H2O on the SERS activity of nanozymes and found that PANI@MoS2@Fe3O4@Au nanozymes prepared using 2 mg mL−1 HAuCl4·4H2O solution exhibited the best SERS performance. We used SERS to study the enzyme kinetics of the nanozymes, and the results showed that the nanozymes have a strong affinity for H2O2 and TMB. Finally, we combined PANI@MoS2@Fe3O4@Au nanozymes and glucose oxidase (GOx) to establish a SERS glucose biosensor, which has the advantages of ultrasensitivity, high-precision, and a wide linear response range. The linear response range of glucose is 10−11–10−3 M, and the detection limit is 10−12 M. More importantly, we have successfully determined the glucose content in human serum samples with satisfactory accuracy. This work provides an essential new strategy for designing composite nanozymes for biocatalysis and provides a new idea for constructing high-sensitivity SERS biosensors.
