Properties, preparation, and energy storage applications of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide

초록

Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin molybdenum dichalcogenides MoS₂ has gained a great deal of attention in energy conversion and storage applications because of its unique morphology and property. The 2D MoS2 nanosheets provide a high specific surface area, 2D charge channel, sub-nanometer thickness, and high conductivity, which lead to high electrochemical performances for energy storage devices. In this paper, an overview of properties and synthetic methods of MoS₂ nanosheets for applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries is introduced. Different phases triangle prismatic 2H and metallic octahedral 1T structured MoS₂ were characterized using various analytical techniques. Preparation methods were focused on top-down and bottom-up approaches, including mechanical exfoliation, chemical intercalation and exfoliation, liquid phase exfoliation by the direct sonication, electrochemical intercalation exfoliation, microwave-assisted exfoliation, mechanical ball-milling, and hydrothermal synthesis. In addition, recent applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries using MoS₂ electrode materials are discussed. © 2019, Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry.
