MoS
2 is a kind of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) that has a single atom of molybdenum bonded to a pair of sulfur atoms. Through its unique and diverse superior properties, it has challenged the supremacy of graphene and related 2D materials and thus has emerged as a front runner in the development of miniaturization and wearable electronics for various applications. In the present work, MoS2 nanosheets have been synthesized from the bulk MoS2 powder through exfoliation using bath ultrasonication for two different times viz. 1 hour and 2 hours in ethanol and deionized (DI) water. It results into formation of multilayer MoS2 nanosheets/nanoflakes. The results are corroborated by XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS measurements and Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) and are discussed to explain average layer numbers as well as size/thickness of MoS2 nanosheets.
