Electrochemical synthesis of molybdenum sulfide semiconductor

The electrochemical deposition of MoS2 from different media; aqueous, non-aqueous, molten salts and ionic liquids have been reviewed and discussed in this review. Electrochemical methods and substrates used for the electrodeposition of MoS2 have been also discussed. All of the parameters affecting the electrodeposition process including temperature, pH and solution composition which lead to suitable shape of MoS2 for using in different applications as photoelectrochemistry have been showed and discussed. The reaction mechanisms of the electrodeposition process of MoS2 have been explored and discussed.
