Functionalization of MoS2 with 1, 2-dithiolanes: toward donor-acceptor nanohybrids for energy conversion
Financiación H2020 / H2020 FundsFinanciación FP7 / Fp7 Funds
Resumen: The covalent functionalization of exfoliated semiconducting MoS2 by 1, 2-dithiolanes bearing an ethylene glycol alkyl chain terminated to a butoxycarbonyl-protected amine and a photoactive pyrene moiety is accomplished. The MoS2-based nanohybrids were fully characterized by complementary spectroscopic, thermal, and microscopy techniques. Markedly, density functional theoretical studies combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis demonstrate preferential edge functionalization, primarily via sulfur addition along partially sulfur saturated zig-zag MoS2 molybdenum-edges, preserving intact the 2D basal structure of functionalized MoS2-based nanohybrids as confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Furthermore, in the MoS2-pyrene hybrid, appreciable electronic interactions at the excited state between the photoactive pyrene and the semiconducting MoS2 were revealed as inferred by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, implying its high potentiality to function in energy conversion schemes.
