Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) thin films have been extensively employed in microelectronics research. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS), as one of prominent candidates of this class, has been applied in photodetectors, integrated electronic devices, gas sensing, and electrochemical catalysis, owing to its extraordinary optoelectronic, chemical, and mechanical properties. Synthesis of MoScrystal film is the key to its application.

Before sample analysis, a sample pretreatment by calcination was applied which could totally remove interference from other constituents of the PN solution. Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and sodium hydroxide were used as the mobile phase for the determination of cations and anions, respectively.
