Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide is a pioneering example of a two-dimensional material, and due to its extraordinary properties, it has lately attracted a significant amount of study attention. These characteristics include a large surface area and porous character, the ability to be tuned by intercalation, excellent chemical and thermal stability, and wide availability in their natural state. MoS₂ is a strong candidate for combining with carbon nanomaterials to develop unique hybrid nanostructures with extraordinary properties, such as increased catalytic activity. This would be accomplished by mixing MoS₂ with the carbon nanoparticles. In this chapter, we have made an effort to review and consolidate the characteristics that are related to the synthesis of MoS₂-carbon allotropes. Further, we have provided a brief description of the synthesis of these allotropes, as well as their applications. Researchers are focusing their attention on it for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it is simple to use, cost-effective, ...
