We study the synthesis, electrochemical and mechanical performance of layered freestanding papers composed of acid exfoliated few layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) flakes for use as a self-standing flexible electrode in sodium ion batteries. Synthesis was achieved through vacuum filtration of homogenous dispersions consisting of varying wt. % of acid treated MoS 2 flakes in GO in DI water, followed by thermal reduction at elevated temperatures. The electrochemical performance of the crumpled composite paper (at 4 mg.cm -2 ) was evaluated as counter electrode against pure Na foil in a half-cell configuration. The electrode showed good Na cycling ability with a stable charge capacity of approx.230 mAh.g -1 with respect to total weight of the electrode with coulombic efficiency reaching approx. 99 %. In addition, static uniaxial tensile tests performed on crumpled composite papers showed high average strain to failure reaching approx. %.KEYWORDS: TMDC, sodium battery, freestanding electrode, graphene, MoS 2 2 Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been extensively studied for energy-storage applications like portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. [1][2][3] However, concerns over the cost, safety and availability of Li reserves 4 for large-scale applications involving renewable energy integration and the electrical grid have to be answered. In this regard, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have drawn increasing attention because in contrast to lithium, 5-7 sodium resources are practically inexhaustible and evenly distributed around the world while the ion insertion chemistry is largely identical to that of lithium. Also, from electrochemical point of view, sodium has a very negative redox potential (-2.71 V, vs. SHE) and a small electrochemical equivalent (0.86 gAh -1 ), which make it the most advantageous element for battery applications after lithium. However, many challenges remain before SIBs can become commercially competitive with LIBs. For instance, Na ions are about 55% larger in radius than Li-ions, which makes it difficult to find a suitable host material to allow reversible and rapid ion insertion and extraction. 8 To this end, researchers have proposed a number of high-capacity sodium host materials (negative electrode) involving either carbon or group IVA and VA elements that form intermetallic compounds with Na. [9][10][11][12][13] The alloying compounds demonstrate high first cycle Na-storage capacities, such as Na 15 Sn 4 (847 mAhg -1 ), Na 15 Pb 4 (485 mAhg -1 ), Na 3 Sb (600 mAhg -1 ) and Na 3 P (2560 mAhg -1 ), respectively. However, this comes at the cost of very high volume change upon Na-insertion (as much as 500 % in some cases), resulting in formation of internal cracks, loss of electrical contact, and eventual failure of the electrode (particularly for thick electrodes). 14 Novel nanostructured designs that can accommodate large volumetric strains need further exploration.

Molybdenum disulfide, MoS 2 , has recently gained considerable attention as a layered material where neighboring layers are only weakly interacting and can easily slide against each other. Therefore, mechanical exfoliation allows the fabrication of single and multi-layers and opens the possibility to generate atomically thin crystals with outstanding properties. In contrast to graphene, it has an optical gap of 1.9 eV. This makes it a prominent candidate for transistor and opto-electronic applications. Single-layer MoS 2 exhibits remarkably different physical properties compared to bulk MoS 2 due to the absence of interlayer hybridization. For instance, while the band gap of bulk and multi-layer MoS 2 is indirect, it becomes direct with decreasing number of layers. In this review, we analyze from a theoretical point of view the electronic, optical, and vibrational properties of single-layer, few-layer and bulk MoS 2 . In particular, we focus on the effects of spinorbit interaction, number of layers, and applied tensile strain on the vibrational and optical properties. We examine the results obtained by different methodologies, mainly ab initio approaches. We also discuss which approximations are suitable for MoS 2 and layered materials. The effect of external strain on the band gap of single-layer MoS 2 and the crossover from indirect to direct band gap is investigated. We analyze the excitonic effects on the absorption spectra. The main features, such as the double peak at the absorption threshold and the high-energy exciton are presented. Furthermore, we report on the phonon dispersion relations of single-layer, few-layer and bulk MoS 2 . Based on the latter, we explain the behavior of the Raman-active A 1g and E 1 2g modes as a function of the number of layers. Finally, we compare theoretical and experimental results of Raman, photoluminescence, and optical-absorption spectroscopy.

“…The E1g mode and E2g 2 mode usually cannot be detected by conventional Raman Scattering measurements. The weak intensity of the E1g mode is due to the laser polarization chosen and random crystal direction of different MoS2 samples [86]. For example, the E1g mode is forbidden for s-polarized laser light incident on the MoS2 crystal surface (the E field is perpendicular to the c-axis of MoS2) [85].…”

Abstract:The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials has led to tremendous interest in the study of graphene and a series of mono-and few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Among these TMDCs, the study of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has gained increasing attention due to its promising optical, electronic, and optoelectronic properties. Of particular interest is the indirect to direct band-gap transition from bulk and few-layered structures to mono-layered MoS2, respectively. In this review, the study of these properties is summarized. The use of Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of MoS2 has become a reliable technique for differentiating the number of molecular layers in 2D MoS2.
