Production of few-layer MoS sub(2) nanosheets through exfoliation of liquid N sub(2)-quenched bulk MoS sub(2)

We demonstrate an efficient method for the production of few-layer MoS sub(2) nanosheets through exfoliation of bulk MoS sub(2) compounds that were subject to quenching in liquid N sub(2) and subsequent ultrasonication. This solution-based method, which involves a "quenching cracks" phenom...

Summary:We demonstrate an efficient method for the production of few-layer MoS sub(2) nanosheets through exfoliation of bulk MoS sub(2) compounds that were subject to quenching in liquid N sub(2) and subsequent ultrasonication. This solution-based method, which involves a "quenching cracks" phenomenon, was performed open to the atmosphere. Subsequent ultrasonication of the exfoliated MoS sub(2) in solution provided us with MoS sub(2) nanosheets comprising two to four layers.
