Figure 1. The characterizations and thus speculative structure of the as-synthesized ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets.

Figure 1

(a) The Mo3d XPS spectrum and S2p XPS spectrum of the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets with Mo3d3/2 at 232.0 eV, Mo3d5/2 at 228.8 eV, S2s at 226.0 eV, S2p1/2 at 163.3 eV and S2p3/2 at 162.0 eV. (b) The TEM image of the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets and each of these dark lines is a standing part of one MoS2 layer. (c) The Raman spectrum of the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets with peak Inline graphic at 383.6 ± 0.4 cm−1 and peak Inline graphic at 403.2 ± 0.5 cm−1. (d) The black colored translucent solution with the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets dispersed in cyclohexane. (e) The particle size distribution of the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets. (f) The atomic illustration of the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheet.
