Nanostructured Three-Dimensional (3D) Assembly of 2D MoS₂ and Graphene Directly Build From Acidic Graphite Oxide

A 3D highly interconnected macroporous network of reduced GO having finely dispersed few-layered 2D MoS₂ nanosheets was constructed through direct use of acidic graphite oxide (GO) for the first time. This facile and technologically scalable process can afford efficient hydrodesulfurization electrocatalysts as potential anode materials at lower cost, and can circumvent the poor thermal stability and recyclability of the material. The strategy provided here can be the basis to design and develop practical processes to address the ultimate goal of large-scale manufacturing of hybrids composed of 2D materials for various energy and catalysis applications.
