Abstract:
We demonstrate a hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 o C to synthesize a single to few layers MoSe2 nanoflowers which exhibit a high surface-to-volume ratio and is stable under room temperature in ambient air. The crystal structure of the MoSe2 nanoflowers has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern, Raman, and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). On the basis of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image, the size of the MoSe2 nanoflowers is in the range of the 300-500nm. HRTEM image reveals that the MoSe2 nanoflowers possess a great number of the single- and few-layers, which further confirms that our nanoflowers display the plentiful amount of active surface sites. In addition, the lattice fringes between each single layer is about 0.66 nm, which is slightly larger than the reported value of 0.62 nm for the MoSe 2 . The piezoresponse force microscopy image further shows that the MoSe2 nanoflowers exhibits significantly piezoelectric potential which is generated from the active surface sites of the petals in the MoSe2 nanoflowers.
