“…The common synthesis methods include exfoliation, chemical vapour deposition, hydrothermal and solvothermal approaches. Because of their multi-dimensional structural properties, MoX 2 have applications in advanced technologies such as in hydrogen evolution reactions, [5][6][7] light-emitting diodes, 8 solar cells, 9 Li/Na-ion batteries, 10 supercapacitors, 11 field-effect transistors, 12,13 photo-detectors, 14 bio-sensors, [15][16][17] solid lubricants, dehydrosulfurization, 10 photocatalysis, 18 desalination of water 19,20 and the biomedical field. 21 Therefore, studying these materials allows us to go beyond graphene and explore new properties of 2D inorganic materials.…”
