“…Mo sulfide possesses a laminated lattice structure that is highly amenable to electric and structural modifications, and its catalytic property has therefore been investigated in different crystal phases, including hexagonal MoS2 (2H-MoS2), chemically exfoliated metallic MoS2 (1T MoS2), amorphous MoSx, Mo-S clusters (Mo3S4 -), and Mo-Cu binary-metal sulfide (Cu2MoS4) [111][112][113][114][115][116]), and with various degrees of non-stoichiometric defects [113,115], doping [123,124], and hybridization [125][126][127]. From the results of spectroscopic analyses, including in situ and ex situ X-ray absorption [128], XPS [129], EPR [130] and Raman spectroscopy [111,130] [116,[133][134][135].…”
