We present a simple approach for producing photoluminescent MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) using commercial MoS2 powder as a precursor along with NaOH and isopropanol. The synthesis method is particularly easy and environmentally friendly. The successful intercalation of Na+ ions into MoS2 layers and subse...
