Exfoliated MoS2 and MoSe2 Nanosheets by a Supercritical Fluid Process for a Hybrid Mg–Li-Ion Battery
Exfoliated MoS<sub>2</sub> and MoSe<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets by a Supercritical Fluid Process for a Hybrid Mg–Li-Ion Battery
The ultrathin two-dimensional nanosheets
of layered transition-metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted great interest as an important
class of materials for fundamental research and technological applications.
Solution-phase processes are highly desirable to produce a large amount
of TMD nanosheets for applications in energy conversion and energy
storage such as catalysis, electronics, rechargeable batteries, and
capacitors. Here, we report a rapid exfoliation by supercritical fluid
processing for the production of MoS<sub>2</sub> and MoSe<sub>2</sub> nanosheets. Atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark-field imaging
reveals high-quality exfoliated MoS<sub>2</sub> and MoSe<sub>2</sub> nanosheets with hexagonal structures, which retain their 2H stacking
sequence. The obtained nanosheets were tested
for their electrochemical performance in a hybrid Mg–Li-ion
battery as a proof of functionality. The MoS<sub>2</sub> and MoSe<sub>2</sub> nanosheets exhibited the specific capacities of 81 and 55
mA h g<sup>–1</sup>, respectively, at a current rate of 20
mA g<sup>–1</sup>
