We report a fast and simple synthesis of FeO@MoS 0D/2D-nanocomposite material using a Taylor-Couette flow reactor. A Taylor-Couette flow with high shear stress and mixing characteristics was used for fluid dynamic exfoliation of MoS and deposition of uniform FeO nanoparticles, resulting in a FeO@MoS in the form of 0D/2D-nanocomposite material. Using Taylor-Couette flow reactor, we could synthesize FeO@MoS 0D/2D-nanocomposite material at a rate higher than 1000 mg h which is much higher than previously reported production rate of 0.

Herein, we report a fast, scalable, and one-pot hydrodynamic synthesis for preparing ion conductive and defect-free graphene from graphite and MnO/graphene nanocomposites. The use of this hydrodynamic method using Taylor-Couette flow allows us to efficiently fast shear-exfoliate graphite into large quantities of high-quality graphene sheets.
