MoS2 vertically standing nanosheets were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition using molybdenum hexacarbonyl (Mo(CO)6) and 1,2-ethanedithiol (C2H6S2) as precursors. The sulfur source was chosen as a less toxic alternative to the well-established hydrogen sulfide (H2S). These films were...
