Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials have shown great potential for usage in opto-electronic devices, especially down to the regime of a few layers to a single layer. However, at these limits, the material properties can be strongly influenced by the interfaces. By using photoconductive atomic force microscopy, we show a local enhancement of photoconductivity at the nanoscale in bilayer molybdenum disulfide on mica, where water is confined between the TMDC and the substrate. We have found that the structural phase of the water influences the doping level and thus the tunneling barrier at the nanojunction. This leads to an increase in photocurrent and enhanced photopower generation.

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) incorporating atomic or molecular layer van der Waals materials can support multimode resonances and exotic nonlinear dynamics. Here we investigate nonlinear coupling of closely spaced modes in a bilayer (2L) molybdenum disulfide (MoS) nanoelectromechanical resonator. We model the response from a drumhead resonator using equations of two resonant modes with a dispersive coupling term to describe the vibration induced frequency shifts that result from the induced change in tension.

Two-dimensional materials with a nanostructure have been introduced as promising candidates for SERS platforms for sensing application. However, the dynamic control and tuning of SERS remains a long-standing problem. Here, we demonstrated active tuning of the enhancement factor of the first- and second-order Raman mode of monolayer (1L) MoS transferred onto a flexible metallic nanotip array.

Water-based lubricants have the advantages of low cost, easy cleaning, and environmental friendliness, and are suitable for various lubrication applications. However, the limited tribological properties of pure water-based lubricants restrict their use. To improve these properties, water-based lubrication additives can be employed.

The demand for compact energy storage devices necessitates the development of high-performance anode materials directly integrated with current collectors, minimizing or eliminating the need for binders or additives. With its layered structure and high theoretical capacity, molybdenum disulfide (MoS) is regarded as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, we report chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of self-integrated, vertically aligned MoS nanosheets with embedded molybdenum dioxide (MoO) directly on a molybdenum foil and explore its potential as an anode material for LIBs.
