Synthesis and Characterization of Amorphous Carbon Nanotube-Molybdenum Disulfide (ACNT-MoS2) Nanohybrids using Sodium Molybdate Dehydrate and L-Cysteine as Precursor
Abstract
The discovery of graphene makes the researcher interested towards the other two-dimensional material which has quite similar properties like graphene. Among them, MoS2 nanosheets haves extraordinary optoelectronic and physical properties. It has several applications in developing battery, sensor, optoelectronic device etc. On the other hand, amorphous carbon nanotube can be synthesized by using a low temperature chemical process. Due to the ease processing of amorphous carbon nanotube (ACNT), good optoelectronic and physical property based nanomaterial with amorphous carbon nanotube, can be a good replacement of crystalline carbon nanotube in numerous applications. Amorphous carbon nanotube-molybdenum disulfide nanohybrids were prepared by using hydrothermal method using sodium molybdate dehydrate and L-cysteine as precursor. Characterization of as prepared sample was done by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) method. FE-SEM and HRTEM image confirms the formation of ACNT-MoS2 nanohybrids. I-V curve under dark and illumination condition has also been experimented.
