Gas sensors play an irreplaceable role in industry and life. Different types of gas sensors, including metal-oxide sensors, are developed for different scenarios. Titanium dioxide is widely used in dyes, photocatalysis, and other fields by virtue of its nontoxic and nonhazardous properties, and excellent performance.

In addition, the compounding of MoS with other materials can enhance the performance in applications such as batteries, catalysts, and optoelectronic devices, MoS is prepared by various methods, among which chemical deposition and hydrothermal methods are widely used. In this review, we focus on summarizing the applications of MoS and MoS composite nanomaterials in rechargeable ion batteries, catalysts for water splitting and gas sensors, and briefly outline the preparation methods.

The phytoplasmas associated with the LY diseases belonged to six 16Sr groups containing 16SrI, 16SrIV, 16SrXI, 16SrXIV, 16SrXXII, and 16SrXXXII with comparatively higher variable levels. Conserved regions of the 16S rRNA genes of LY phytoplasmas belonging to the six 16Sr groups were obtained in the study.
