3D flower-like molybdenum disulfide microsphere modified graphite felt (MoS/GF) with excellent electrocatalytic activity and redox reversibility for the VO/VO couple is successfully fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method. The results show that the hydrothermal reaction time has a deep influence on the MoS structure; an open 3D flower-like MoS structure with a layer spacing of 0.63 nm is uniformly grafted on the GF surface for a reaction time of 36 h. With the presence of MoS, the total resistance (1.58 Ω) and charge transfer resistance (0.01 Ω) of MoS/GF-36 are smaller than that of the heat treated GF (2.04 Ω and 11.27 Ω, respectively), indicating that the electrode has better conductivity and more favorable electron transfer ability. As expected, a significant increase in the capacity and energy efficiency is obtained with the MoS/GF-36 electrode. These satisfactory results are attributed to the 3D flower-like structure on the surface of the electrode, which increases the contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte. More importantly, the MoS/GF electrode with excellent stability has great application prospect in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs).

Applying antioxidant coating materials to prepare surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing substrates can effectively enhance the sensitivity and stability for the analysis of molecules. In this study, we have leveraged SERS to develop an innovative sensor for the swift identification of Paraquat (PQ), enabling on-site detection of this herbicide. The newly devised sensor distinguishes itself through its exceptional oxidation resistance.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS), a notable two-dimensional (2D) material, has attracted considerable interest for its potential applications in gas sensing, despite its typically insulating characteristics, which have limited its practical use. In this study, we present the use of mixed phase MoS (1T@2H-MoS) to overcome sensing limitations of MoS material by enhancing its conductivity and demonstrating its high-performance characteristics for sensing ammonia (NH) at room temperature (20 °C). The 1T@2H-MoS was synthesized a hydrothermal process, and the coexistence of two different phases (the 1T and 2H phases) was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy.

A photocatalysis-electro-Fenton (PEF) system was constructed via molybdenum disulfide (MoS) to remove tetracycline (TC) without an external oxidant supply and solution pH adjustment. In the system, original graphite felt (GF) was used as a cathode, from which HO was generated continuously under power. MoS was motivated by visible light to facilitate the cycle of Fe/Fe, enhancing the Fenton process to produce OH.
