Molybdenum Disulfide: Scalable Fabrication of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanostructures and their Assembly (Adv. Mater. 43/2020)

In article number 2003439, Donglei (Emma) Fan and co-workers report the fabrication of molybdenum disulfide nanoribbons and their oxide hybrids with tunable dimensions from several to tens of micrometers in a scalable fashion. The nanoribbons disperse in suspension, transport along prescribed trajectories, and instantly assemble at the “press of a UV-light button.” They demonstrate rapid optoelectronic response and effectively remove mercury from water.
