Nanotoxicity of 2D Molybdenum Disulfide, MoS₂, Nanosheets on Beneficial Soil Bacteria, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: Concerns arising from accidental and occasional releases of novel industrial nanomaterials to the environment and waterbodies are rapidly increasing as the production and utilization levels of nanomaterials increase every day. In particular, two-dimensional nanosheets are one of the most significant emerging classes of nanomaterials used or considered for use in numerous applications and devices. This study deals with the interactions between 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) nanosheets and beneficial soil bacteria. It was found that the log-reduction in the survival of Gram-positive Bacillus cereus was 2.8 (99.83%) and 4.9 (99.9988%) upon exposure to 16.0 mg/mL bulk MoS₂ (macroscale) and 2D MoS₂ nanosheets (nanoscale), respectively. For the case of Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the log-reduction values in bacterial survival were 1.9 (98.60%) and 5.4 (99.9996%) for the same concentration of bulk MoS₂ and MoS₂ nanosheets, respectively. Based on these findings, it is important to consider the potential toxicity of MoS₂ nanosheets on beneficial soil bacteria responsible for nitrate reduction and nitrogen fixation, soil formation, decomposition of dead and decayed natural materials, and transformation of toxic compounds into nontoxic compounds to adequately assess the environmental impact of 2D nanosheets and nanomaterials.

Efficient All-2D Amorphous Cobalt Sulfide Nanosheets/Multilayered Molybdenum Disulfide Hybrid Heterojunction Catalyst for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution.

Project description:Hydrogen energy is considered to be a critical environmentally friendly and widely sourced renewable energy source that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels. At present, the preparation of hydrogen (H2) mainly depends on traditional fossil fuels. In order to achieve sustainable development of environmental protection, great attention has been paid to the preparation of H2 by electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemistry. Here, it is reported for the first time that a novel active catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction, consisting of all-2D amorphous nanosheets/2D crystal layer heterojunction structure and without any noble metal (no precious metals are present in the preparation or measuring), is almost entirely fabricated by laser ablation in liquid (LAL) growth of amorphous cobalt sulfide on the surface of multilayered molybdenum disulfide. In acidic media, the amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets/multilayered molybdenum disulfide (a-CoS/MoS2) catalyst exhibits fast hydrogen evolution kinetics with onset potential of -147 mV and a Tafel slope of 126 mV per decade, which is much better than only the amorphous cobalt sulfide and molybdenum disulfide layer. The high hydrogen evolution activity of the amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets/multilayered molybdenum disulfide hybrid is likely due to the unique electrocatalytic synergistic effects between hydrogen evolution-active amorphous cobalt sulfide nanosheets and layered crystal molybdenum disulfide materials, as well as the much-increased catalytic sites. This work provides a new general route based on all-2D amorphous nanosheets/2D crystal structure for designing and preparing novel layered materials with effectively manipulated catalytic properties and active functionality surface.

Large-scale Growth and Simultaneous Doping of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets.

Project description:A facile method that uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the simultaneous growth and doping of large-scale molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets was developed. We employed metalloporphyrin as a seeding promoter layer for the uniform growth of MoS2 nanosheets. Here, a hybrid deposition system that combines thermal evaporation and atomic layer deposition (ALD) was utilized to prepare the promoter. The doping effect of the promoter was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, the carrier density of the MoS2 nanosheets was manipulated by adjusting the thickness of the metalloporphyrin promoter layers, which allowed the electrical conductivity in MoS2 to be manipulated.

Surface Properties of Laser-Treated Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets for Optoelectronic Applications.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenide two-dimensional materials have attracted significant attention due to their unique optical, mechanical, and electronic properties. For example, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) exhibits a tunable band gap that strongly depends on the numbers of layers, which makes it an attractive material for optoelectronic applications. In addition, recent reports have shown that laser thinning can be used to engineer an MoS2 monolayer with specific shapes and dimensions. Here, we study laser-thinned MoS2 in both ambient and vacuum conditions via confocal μ-Raman spectroscopy, imaging X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (i-XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). For low laser powers in ambient environments, there is insufficient energy to oxidize MoS2, which leads to etching and redeposition of amorphous MoS2 on the nanosheet as confirmed by AFM. At high powers in ambient, the laser energy and oxygen environment enable both MoS2 nanoparticle formation and nanosheet oxidation as revealed in AFM and i-XPS. At comparable laser power densities in vacuum, MoS2 oxidation is suppressed and the particle density is reduced as compared to ambient. The extent of nanoparticle formation and nanosheet oxidation in each of these regimes is found to be dependent on the number of layers and laser treatment time. Our results can shed some light on the underlying mechanism of which atomically thin MoS2 nanosheets exhibit under high incident laser power for future optoelectronic applications.

Room-Temperature Production of Nanocrystalline Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) at the Liquid-Liquid Interface.

Project description:Scalable synthesis of 2D materials is a prerequisite for their commercial exploitation. Here, a novel method of producing nanocrystalline molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) at the liquid-liquid interface is demonstrated by decomposing a molecular precursor (tetrakis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato) molybdenum(IV)) in an organic solvent. The decomposition occurs over a few hours at room temperature without stirring or the addition of any surfactants, producing MoS2 which can be isolated onto substrates of choice. The formation of MoS2 at the liquid-liquid interface can be accelerated by the inclusion of hydroxide ions in the aqueous phase, which we propose to act as a catalyst. The precursor concentration was varied to minimize MoS2 thickness, and the organic solvent was chosen to optimize the speed and quality of formation. The kinetics of the MoS2 formation has been investigated, and a reaction mechanism has been proposed. The synthesis method is, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported room-temperature synthesis of transition-metal dichalcogenides, offering a potential solution to scalable 2D material production.

Work Function Modulation of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets by Introducing Systematic Lattice Strain.

Project description:Tuning the surface electronic properties of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides such as Molebdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets is worth exploring for their potential applications in strain sensitive flexible electronic devices. Here in, the correlation between tensile strain developed in MoS2 nanosheets during swift heavy ion irradiation and corresponding modifications in their surface electronic properties is investigated. With prior structural characterization by transmission electron microscopy, chemically exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets were exposed to 100 MeV Ag ion irradiation at varying fluence for creation of controlled defects. The presence of defect induced systematic tensile strain was verified by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction analysis. The effect of ion irradiation on in-plane mode is observed to be significantly higher than that on out-of-plane mode. The contribution of irradiation induced in-plane strain on modification of the surface electronic properties of nanosheets was analyzed by work function measurement using scanning Kelvin probe microscopy. The work function value is observed to be linearly proportional to tensile strain along the basal plane indicating a systematic shifting of Fermi surface with fluence towards the valence band.

Pure and stable metallic phase molybdenum disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Project description:Metallic-phase MoS2 (M-MoS2) is metastable and does not exist in nature. Pure and stable M-MoS2 has not been previously prepared by chemical synthesis, to the best of our knowledge. Here we report a hydrothermal process for synthesizing stable two-dimensional M-MoS2 nanosheets in water. The metal-metal Raman stretching mode at 146 cm(-1) in the M-MoS2 structure, as predicted by theoretical calculations, is experimentally observed. The stability of the M-MoS2 is associated with the adsorption of a monolayer of water molecules on both sides of the nanosheets, which reduce restacking and prevent aggregation in water. The obtained M-MoS2 exhibits excellent stability in water and superior activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction, with a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at a low potential of -175 mV and a Tafel slope of 41 mV per decade.

Pillared Vanadium Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets: Toward High-Performance Cathodes for Magnesium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:If magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) are to be seriously considered for next-generation energy storage, then a number of major obstacles need to be overcome. The lack of reversible cathode materials with sufficient capacity and cycle life is one of these challenges. Here, we report a new MIB cathode constructed of vertically stacked vanadium molybdenum sulfide (VMS) nanosheets toward addressing this challenge. The integration of vanadium within molybdenum sulfide nanostructures acts so as to improve the total conductivity, enhancing charge transfer, and to produce abundant lattice defects, improving both the accommodation and transport of Mg2+. Additionally, electrolyte additive-induced interlayer expansion provides a means to admit Mg2+ cations into the electrode structure and thus enhance their diffusion. The VMS nanosheets are capable of exhibiting capacities of 211.3 and 128.2 mA h g-1 at current densities of 100 and 1000 mA g-1, respectively. The VMS nanosheets also demonstrate long-term cycling stability, retaining 82.7% of the maximum capacity after 500 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA h g-1. These results suggest that VMS nanosheets could be promising candidates for high-performance cathodes in MIBs.

Intracellular Mechanistic Understanding of 2D MoS2 Nanosheets for Anti-Exocytosis-Enhanced Synergistic Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Emerging two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets (NSs), have shown tremendous potential for use in a wide variety of fields including cancer nanomedicine. The interaction of nanomaterials with biosystems is of critical importance for their safe and efficient application. However, a cellular-level understanding of the nano-bio interactions of these emerging 2D nanomaterials ( i. e., intracellular mechanisms) remains elusive. Here we chose molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) NSs as representative 2D nanomaterials to gain a better understanding of their intracellular mechanisms of action in cancer cells, which play a significant role in both their fate and efficacy. MoS2 NSs were found to be internalized through three pathways: clathrin → early endosomes → lysosomes, caveolae → early endosomes → lysosomes, and macropinocytosis → late endosomes → lysosomes. We also observed autophagy-mediated accumulation in the lysosomes and exocytosis-induced efflux of MoS2 NSs. Based on these findings, we developed a strategy to achieve effective and synergistic in vivo cancer therapy with MoS2 NSs loaded with low doses of drug through inhibiting exocytosis pathway-induced loss. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic experimental report on the nano-bio interaction of 2D nanomaterials in cells and their application for anti-exocytosis-enhanced synergistic cancer therapy.

Tiled Monolayer Films of 2D Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoflakes Assembled at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces.

Project description:Thin films of MoS2 bilayer nanoflakes, which are predominantly a single flake thick and with flakes in edge-to-edge contact, have been produced via self-assembled tiling at the planar interface between two immiscible liquids. Films of several square centimeters extent can be produced with a total covered area approaching 90% and over 70% of the film covered by single flakes without overlap. Films produced through liquid/liquid assembly are shown to produce a lower uncovered area fraction and more uniform thickness when compared with films of similar areal coverage produced by the "top-down" techniques of spin coating and spray coating. Statistical analysis of flake coverage data, measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that liquid/liquid assembly produces a distinctly different variation in film thickness than conventional top-down deposition. This supports the hypothesis that the two-dimensional (2D) confinement of liquid/liquid assembly produces more uniform films. Demonstrator field-effect transistors (FETs) manufactured from the films exhibit mobility and on/off current ratios of 0.73 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 105, respectively, comparable to FETs of similar layout and chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown or mechanically cleaved single-crystal MoS2 channel material. This work demonstrates the use of liquid/liquid interfaces as a useful tool for the self-assembly of high-performance thin-film devices made from dispersions of 2D materials.

Bottom-up synthesis of ultra-small molybdenum disulfide-polyvinylpyrrolidone nanosheets for imaging-guided tumor regression.

Project description:The two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet has been extensively studied as a novel photothermal transducing agent. However, top-down exfoliation to produce MoS2 nanosheets is inefficient, and MoS2 nanosheet surface modification procedures are complex. Here, we report the synchronous synthesis and surface modification of 2D MoS2 nanosheets with a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-assisted one-pot hydrothermal method. Due to the chelating-coordinating effect between the lone-pair electrons of the PVP carbonyl oxygen and the unoccupied 4d orbitals of molybdenum, the PVP chains could graft onto the surface of MoS2 and guide the growth of the nanosheets. The resultant MoS2-PVP nanosheets were ultra-small (21.4 ± 4.4 nm) and exhibited excellent colloidal stability. Moreover, the strong near-infrared absorption of the MoS2-PVP nanosheets enabled sensitive photothermal conversion performance (with a mass extinction coefficient of 23.33 L g-1 cm-1) and in vitro/in vivo photoacoustic imaging. The MoS2-PVP nanosheets had excellent in vitro and in vivo compatibility and were used for highly efficient tumor photothermal therapy in xenograft tumor-bearing mice. The findings in this report will facilitate the rational design of stable colloidal 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides for effective photothermal cancer therapy.
