Enhanced NH₃ Sensing Performance of Mo Cluster-MoS₂ Nanocomposite Thin Films via the Sulfurization of Mo₆ Cluster Iodides Precursor.

ABSTRACT: The high-performance defect-rich MoS₂ dominated by sulfur vacancies as well as Mo-rich environments have been extensively studied in many fields, such as nitrogen reduction reactions, hydrogen evolution reactions, as well as sensing devices for NH₃, which are attributed to the under-coordinated Mo atoms playing a significant role as catalytic sites in the defect area. In this study, the Mo cluster-MoS₂ composite was creatively synthesized through a one-step sulfurization process via H₂/H₂S gas flow. The Mo₆ cluster iodides (MIs) coated on the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate via the electrophoretic deposition method (i.e., MI@FTO) were used as a precursor to form a thin-film nanocomposite.
