The emergence of low-dimensional materials, characterized by their unique physical properties, has paved the way for innovative systems across a wide array of applications. Among these materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) emerged as a particularly noteworthy candidate, attracting considerable interest due to its exceptional versatility and broad spectrum of potential applications in industries such as biomedical technology, electronics, manufacturing, automotive engineering, and aerospace. MoS₂ stands out as a highly intriguing semiconducting material composed of layers of S-Mo-S, which are stacked together by relatively weak van der Waals forces. At the same time, the covalent bonds between sulfur (S) and molybdenum (Mo) atoms are notably strong. This unique structural configuration imparts several advantageous properties to MoS₂ compared to other layered materials. Its direct bandgap allows for efficient light absorption and emission, making it an ideal candidate for optoelectronic devices. Additionally, the ability to manipulate its layer thickness makes MoS₂ highly tunable, allowing for the customization of its electronic and optical properties to suit specific application needs. This comprehensive book provides an in-depth exploration of the various properties of MoS₂, meticulously dedicating each chapter to a detailed examination of specific applications. Readers will find discussions on the challenges that researchers and practitioners encounter when working with MoS₂, including issues related to material synthesis, scalability, and integration into existing technologies. Moreover, the chapters offer valuable insights into the future directions of MoS₂ research and its potential impact on technological advancements. The authors collectively hope that this thorough exploration will serve as an invaluable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the distinctive properties of MoS₂ and its transformative potential in various cutting-edge applications.
