Exfoliation of large-flake, few-layer MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets mediated by carbon nanotubes
Wenqian Han, Yan Xia, Dong Yang, Angang Dong
Abstract
A facile and scalable exfoliation approach is developed to prepare large-flake, few-layer MoS2 nanosheets with the assistance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs not only facilaite the efficient exfoliation of MoS2 nanosheets, but also benefit their subsequent electrochemical applications for both hydrogen evolution and sodium-ion storage. This CNT-mediated exfoliation approach can be extended to other kinds of 2D materials.
