effects on crystal structure, chemical state of elements, and morphology. MoS2 nanosheets
were prepared by conventional hydrothermal routes at 200° C for 24 h, while maintaining
the Mo/S precursor mol ratio of 1: 12. The XRD and XPS analyses showed that a hexagonal
structure of 2H-MoS2 nanosheets was formed without a second phase for all samples and
crystallinity was enhanced along the c-axis with increasing precursor concentration. The …
