Mechanical components frequently come into contact against one another causing friction that produces heat at the area and wear of shortens part life increases energy consumption. In current study, an attempt was made to optimize parameters for pin-on-disc tester. The experiments were carried out in ambient thermal conditions with varying sliding speeds (0.5 m/s, 0.75 1.0 m/s) applied loads (5 ...

Owing to specific characteristics engendered by their lamellar structures, transition metal dichalcogenides are posited as being some of the best dry lubricants available. Herein, we report a density functional investigation into the sliding properties and associated phenomena of these materials. Calculated potential energy and charge transfer profiles are used to highlight the dependence of sh...

We report a transient absorption microscopy study of charge carrier dynamics in bulk MoS 2 crystals at room temperature. Charge carriers are injected by interband absorption of a 555-nm pulse, and probed by measuring differential reflection of a time-delayed and spatially scanned 660-nm pulse. We find an intervalley transfer time of about 0.35 ps, an energy relaxation time of hot carriers on th...

Materials Butyllithium solution in hexane (1.6 M) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2, 99.0% purity) with an average diameter of about 1 μm were purchased from Aladdin. Nitrile rubber (NBR) with acrylonitrile content 40%, was manufactured by Jilin Chemical Industry Company, Jilin, China. 1butyl-3-methyimidazolium chloride ionic liquid was supplied by Henan Lihua pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The chemical...

The optoelectronic characteristics of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/ZnO flexible photodetectors are investigated. A red-shift effect and improved photocurrent properties of the flexible devices are demonstrated. MoS2 doping improved the photocurrent properties and conductivity. The photocurrent/dark current ratios of pure ZnO and MoS2/ZnO flexible photodetectors were 10(3) and 10(4), respectively...

The features of NMTs such as graphene, molybdenum disulfide, CNTs and quantum dots for unique sensing applicability are mentioned in this review study. Some notable sensors that have been produced described based on the particular analyte compound to be determined functionalization processes used. For COVID-19 determination, biocompatible manufactured from these materials capable determining sp...

Herein, MoS2/TiO2 nanobelts heterojunction have been successfully synthesized by in situ growth method for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI). TiO2 nanobelts (NBs) with rough surface were prepared firstly by acidic treatment process, which is beneficial for deposition and growth of MoS2 to form heterojunctions. As a result of special energy level offset and nanostructure, MoS2/TiO2 NBs composit...
