In this study, we report a green synthesis of MoS nanosheets (NSs) using a facile hydrothermal technique in the presence of l-cysteine. l-Cysteine can serve as a greener source of sulfur as well as a capping agent to help the growth of MoS nanosheets. The prepared materials were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electron transmission microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS), and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) analysis. The results showed that MoS NSs are of high crystallinity with a lattice spacing of 0.61 nm. The optical bandgap of MoS NSs nanosheets prepared using l-cysteine as a source of sulfur was found to be 1.79 eV. The photocatalytic degradation of MoS NSs towards methylene orange (MO) and rhodamine blue (RB) dyes under sunlight was found to be promising for practical applications. The fast kinetics of degradation of MO and RhB was observed over a wide range of pH range. Moreover, MoS NSs showed excellent antifungal activities against and fungus.

Liquid exfoliation is a scalable and effective method for synthesizing 2D nanosheets (NSs) but often induces contamination and defects. Here, liquid metal gallium (Ga) is used to exfoliate bulk layered materials into 2D NSs at near room temperature, utilizing the liquid surface tension and Ga intercalation to disrupt Van der Waals (vdW) forces. In addition, the process can transform the 2H-phase of transition metal dichalcogenides into the 1T'-phase under ambient conditions.

Sensing caspase-3 activity is essential for understanding the role of apoptosis in cancer dynamics, controlling therapeutic strategies, and improving patient care in cancer treatment. In this study, we demonstrate a highly sensitive recombinant human caspase-3 (rhC3) detection technique in biological fluids. This technique uses a copper nanocluster stabilized with bovine serum albumin (BSA-CuNCs) as a metal-based fluorescent biosensor, conjugated with anti-human caspase-3 (ahC3).

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of photoanode made from heterojunction nanostructures of InS and MoS to improve efficiency in photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC-WS).
- The fabrication involved indium sputtering and sulfurization on indium-doped tin oxide glass, followed by adding 2D MoS nanosheets to enhance visible-light absorption.
- The resulting photocurrent density was significantly higher than that of the individual materials, attributed to improved light absorption and better separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, making it a promising option for solar energy applications.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, particularly MoS, are interesting materials for many applications in aerospace research, radiation therapy and bioscience more in general. Since in many of these applications MoS-based nanomaterials can be placed in an aqueous environment while exposed to ionizing radiation, both experimental and theoretical studies of their behaviour under these conditions is particularly interesting. Here, we study the effects of tiny imparted doses of 511 keV photons to MoS nanoflakes in water solution.

Here, we report ternary COFs@MoS-Pd hybrids with an innovative self-sacrificial approach. MoO@Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) microcables were first prepared and then two-dimensional MoS nanosheets (NSs) were integrated onto the surface of COFs, as COFs@MoS, after treatment with hydrothermal reaction. The MoS NSs were used as an excellent support to introduce Pd nanoparticles (NPs) thanks to their reducing ability for the formation of the ternary COFs@MoS-Pd hybrids.
