The 1T-MoS2 monolayer is a slab of hexagonal Mo lattice occupies at the center by octahedral coordination between two layers of hexagonally packed S atoms [27]. The coordination of the Mo metal and its d-electrons play an important role in manipulating the electronic property of MoS2 nanosheets [10], [13].
What is 1T and 2H MoS2?
MoS2 generally exhibits two kinds of crystalline phases: hexagonal 2H phase and octahedral 1T phase. 1T-MoS2 exhibits much better chemical/physical properties than natural semiconductor 2H-MoS2. However, 1T-MoS2 is metastable and its synthesis is still a challenge.
What is 2H MoS2?
MoS2 (2H phase) is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 1.2 eV. … Molybdenum Disulfide is used for example as a photodetector and transistor. The layers are stacked together via van der Waals interactions and can be exfoliated into thin 2D layers.
Graduated from ENSAT (national agronomic school of Toulouse) in plant sciences in 2018, I pursued a CIFRE doctorate under contract with Sun’Agri and INRAE in Avignon between 2019 and 2022. My thesis aimed to study dynamic agrivoltaic systems, in my case in arboriculture. I love to write and share science related Stuff Here on my Website. I am currently continuing at Sun’Agri as an R&D engineer.
