Liquid Phase Exfoliation of MoS2 Nanosheets in Aqueous IPA

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method was investigated to produce a large quantity of 2D MoS2. The introduction of ultrasound into IPA and IPA/DI solutions containing MoS2 resulted in fragmentation and exfoliation of the MoS2. The determination of the layers of LPE-MoS2 was performed by optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, non-resonant Raman spectroscopy and XRD. Flakes with few layers were detected by AFM and resonant Raman investigations.
