This paper reveals the chemical, structural, and separation stability of stacked molybdenum disulfide (MoS) membranes and establishes a low-cost and facile approach to developing stable, selective membranes for efficient molecular separation in an organic solvent. MoS nanoflakes that were dominant by monolayer MoS sheets as prepared via direct chemical exfoliation (chem-MoS) were found to be chemically and structurally instable, with a sharp decrease in the level of solute rejection within a few days. Few-layer MoS nanoflakes were then fabricated using a hydrothermal method (hydro-MoS). A "supportive" drying process involving glycerol pretreatment and drying in an oven was established to allow realignment of nanoflakes and adjustment of interflake spacing. We have shown that the hydro-MoS membranes provide a mean interflake free spacing of ∼1 nm, which is ideal for the separation of a model solute (Rose Bengal, size of ∼1.45 nm) from the solvent isopropanol (size of 0.58 nm) with good long-term stability over a 7 day test.

Polysulfide shuttling and dendrite growth are two primary challenges that significantly limit the practical applications of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, a three-in-one strategy for a separator based on a localized electrostatic field is demonstrated to simultaneously achieve shuttle inhibition of polysulfides, catalytic activation of the Li-S reaction, and dendrite-free plating of lithium ions. Specifically, an interlayer of polyacrylonitrile nanofiber (PNF) incorporating poled BaTiO (PBTO) particles and coating with a layer of MoS (PBTO@PNF-MoS) is developed on the PP separator.

Bacterial resistance, accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics, remains a critical concern for public health, promoting an ongoing exploration for cost-effective and safe antibacterial agents. Recently, there has been significant focus on various nanomaterials for the development of alternative antibiotics. Among these, molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has gained attention due to its unique chemical, physical, and electronic properties, as well as its semiconducting nature, biocompatibility, and colloidal stability, positioning it as a promising candidate for biomedical research.

Metallic 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS) is among the most promising electrode materials for supercapacitors, but its capacitance and cyclability remain to be improved to meet the constantly increasing energy storage needs in portable electronics. In this study, we present a strategy, covalent functionalization, which achieves the improvement of capacitance of metallic 1T phase MoS. Covalently functionalized by the modifier 4-bromobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate, the metallic MoS membrane exhibits increased interlayer spacing, slightly curled layered architecture, enhanced charge transfer, and improved adsorption capabilities toward electrolyte molecules and ions.

Membrane-based electrodeposition (MED) has emerged as a promising approach for reversible removal-recovery of toxic but valuable Pb. However, limited by the low specificity of membrane deposition toward various heavy metal ions in MED, the selective removal of Pb remains an obstacle. Inspired by the soft-hard acid-base theory, here we developed a Pb-affinity electroactive membrane by incorporating MoS with the cation exchange membrane (CEM) to achieve a tandem Pb selective adsorption-deposition process.
