研究目的
Investigating the dewetting behavior of water and isopropanol/water (IPA/H2O) mixtures between molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membranes to understand their effectiveness in liquid-phase exfoliation of MoS2 into atomically thin sheets.
研究成果
MD simulations revealed distinct dewetting processes in H2O and IPA/H2O monolayers confined between MoS2 bilayers. The IPA/H2O mixture forms a percolating network that covers more surface area of MoS2, making it more effective than pure water in liquid phase exfoliation of MoS2.
研究不足
The study is limited to molecular dynamics simulations, which may not fully capture all aspects of the physical processes involved in dewetting and exfoliation. The simulations also rely on specific force fields that may not perfectly represent all interactions in the system.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to study the dewetting behavior of water and IPA/H2O mixtures between MoS2 membranes. The simulations used reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential for MoS2, TIP4P/2005 force field for H2O, and OPLS-AA force field for IPA.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The system consisted of a monolayer of IPA/H2O mixture between two atomically-thin MoS2 membranes of dimensions 100 nm × 100 nm.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The simulations required computational resources for MD simulations, including software capable of handling the specified force fields.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Initial configurations were set up with water and IPA molecules distributed randomly between MoS2 membranes. The Velocity-Verlet algorithm was used for integrating equations of motion with a time step of 1 femtosecond.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The growth of dry patches and the structural changes in the solvent layers were monitored over time to analyze dewetting behavior.
