Summary: In this study, V-doped MoS2 material was successfully synthesized and the influence of V doping on its thermoelectric properties was investigated. V doping significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity and thermoelectric performance of MoS2, and introduced lattice defects and grain refinement effects. In addition, VxMo1-xS2 showed obvious anisotropy in transport properties.

Summary: The shortage of freshwater supplies has hindered societal development. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising solution for seawater and brackish water desalination, with electrode materials playing a crucial role in its performance. This study successfully synthesized a high-capacitance CNTs-b-MoS2 composite and combined it with activated carbon (AC) for CDI, demonstrating improved capacitance and desalination capacity. The CNTs-b-MoS2/AC composite shows potential as an advanced and cost-effective CDI electrode material.

Summary: This study proposes a selective hydrogenation strategy to improve the interface properties between high-k dielectrics and 2D semiconductors. Experimental results demonstrate substantially improved interface properties for electronic applications after interfacial hydrogenation, with nearly intact electronic properties of the 2D semiconductors. This strategy is applicable to various high-k dielectrics and 2D semiconductor interfaces.

Summary: The study investigates the photoluminescence of MoS2 monolayers in optical cavities with the use of a squeezable nanojunction (SNJ) that can be tuned in operando. The results show strong distortions of PL spectra due to the tunable cavity and emphasize the significant influence of the local electromagnetic mode budget on spectral properties. The experiment highlights the versatile application range of the SNJ technique for combining electronic functionality with optical access and a tunable light-matter interface.

Summary: The study synthesized MoS2-doped graphite/copper self-lubricating composites using rapid microwave sintering and investigated their thermal properties and friction behaviors. Doping molybdenum disulfide solid lubricant into graphite promoted the formation of friction film, optimizing the friction and wear properties of the composites. Additionally, the composites exhibited better thermal and frictional properties at 200 degrees C compared to room temperature.
