研究目的
Investigating the direct synthesis of either 2H-MoS2 or a-MoO3 from a single molecular precursor, with the reaction product controlled by choice of processing conditions.
研究成果
The solventless thermolysis of a single source precursor has been proven to be a viable route to produce either 2H-MoS2 or a-MoO3 by judicious choice of reaction conditions. This method offers potential scalability and the possibility to produce large amounts of doped metal oxide and chalcogenide materials for various applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and basic characterization of MoS2 and MoO3. Further studies on the scalability of the method and the application-specific performance of the synthesized materials are needed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The growth of 2H-MoS2 was achieved via thermolysis of Mo(DTC)4 in argon whilst bulk a-MoO3 was formed by the same reaction but in air. The reaction in both cases was carried out in a ceramic crucible placed within a tube furnace maintained at 450 °C for one hour only.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Mo(DTC)4 was produced as per Lewis et al. The materials were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Tube furnace, ceramic crucible, Mo(DTC)4 precursor.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The precursor was thermolyzed in either argon or air at 450 °C for one hour. The products were then characterized using various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Raman spectra were analyzed for characteristic peaks, XRPD patterns were indexed to known standards, XPS spectra were fit with chemical species, and electron microscopy images were analyzed for morphology and structure.
