Molybdenum disulfide nanocomposites. A new method for the intercalation of organic and organometallic species

Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of MoS2-electron pair donor nanocomposites based on the reaction of LiMoS2 with the donor in a dry non-aqueous medium is described. The purity of products as well as the intercalation efficiency and versatility of the method, tested for the intercalation of styrene, ferrocene, poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acrylonitrile), may be ascribed to the activation of the MoS2-matrix by lithium intercalation.
