Different Useful Applications of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanopowder
Molybdenum Disulfide Nanopowder
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is formed by the reaction between molybdenum and sulfur, which have different positions on the Periodic Table. It is an inorganic compound that is available as molybdenite ore in the nature. The physical and chemical properties of molybdenum disulfide nanopowder help in many applications in the field of nanotechnology, as well other industrial fields. It is classified in the category of transition metal dichalcogenides, due to its chemical composition.
Important applications of MoS2 depending on its properties
Semiconductor in nanotechnology – MoS2 of monolayer thickness has a direct bandgap whereas the Bulk MoS2 acts as an indirect bandgap semiconductor. Thus, this nanopowder can be used in all 2D devices, due to its optoelectronic properties. The crystals of Bulk MoS2 can be transformed into the monolayer form, just by...
