Description
Summary:Transforming the shape, structure, and morphology of materials at the nanoscale level has been made possible by the development of nanomaterials. Even though promising materials for electrical, physical, and mechanical properties exist, however their inability to distinguish between semiconducting and metallic phases has resulted in its demise as a promising material for electronics of 2-D materials, which includes graphene, black phosphorous, boron nitrides and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Moreover, molybdenum disulfide is regarded as a multi-utility and multi-functional material due to its ability to show different properties. Due to the astonishing properties of MoS 2 and synergetic effects it has been wielded for a wide range of applications. This review focuses on the utility of molybdenum disulfide in various organic syntheses. Bulk MoS 2 , chemically exfoliated MoS 2 , nanosheets, metal-doped MoS 2 , and MoS 2 composites are the main focus of the report. They can be used for hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, reduction, synthesis of heterocycles and photocatalysis, as well as some chemical reactions.
