MOLYBDENUM(IV) SULFIDE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Molybdenite, naturally occurring mineral, grains, is used for grain mounts, XRD and microprobe standards, as well as identification of unknown minerals.

Uses

Owing to the thickness dependent physical and chemical properties, the two dimensional layered inorganic nanomaterials have drawn significant attention recently. They find applications in photocatalysis, phtotovoltaics, gas sensing, lithium ion batteries, field effect transistors, spintronics etc. Transition metal dichalcogenides represent an important class of inorganic 2D materials having aforementioned applications. The CVD grown monolayer films of MoS₂, MoSe₂, WS₂ and WSe₂ on insulating substrates such as SiO₂ and sapphire are well suited for electronic and photovoltaic devices.

Definition

ChEBI: Molybdenum disulfide is a sulfide salt.
