Molybdenum sulfide selenide (MoSSe), CAS number 132004-88-7, is a two-dimensional TMDC. It is often referred to as a "Janus" MXY transition metal dichalcogenide.

Janus MoSSe consists of three layers of atoms: Sulfur, molybdenum, and selenium from the top to the bottom in the sequence of S-Mo-Se. The geometry of monolayer Janus MoSSe is different from MoS₂ and MoSe₂ - with one side of the Janus MoSSe structure being S atoms, and the other side being Se atoms. The Mo atom layer is sandwiched between S and Se layers, and multilayers of MoSSe are stacked by the vdW interactions. Due to the the structural asymmetry and a large out-of-plane piezoelectric polarisation of Janus MoSSe, it is possible to stack the dipoles of the individual layers and obtain an atomically-thin pn-junction across the multilayer system by stacking multiple Janus MoSSe layers on top of each other.

Similar to MoS₂, the MoSSe monolayer also exhibits a honeycomb pattern from the top view of the lattice. However, the mirror symmetry is broken due to the different electronic properties of sulfur and selenium, which leads to the polar properties of MoSSe.

Applications of Molybdenum Sulfide Selenide Powder

Janus MoSSe monolayers possess the highly-desired vertical piezoelectric effect, which leads to enhance the flexibility and compatibility in piezoelectric device operations. The out-of-plane piezoelectricity also provides a platform to design nanoelectromechanical devices and future spintronics. Mono- and multi-layer Janus MoSSe have also been used as photocatalysts for solar water splitting and lithium-Ion batteries.

Synthesis

Molybdenum sulfide selenide powder is obtained via the CVT method, with purity typically in excess of 99.995%.

Usage

High-purity molybdenum sulfide selenide powder is generally used to prepare MoSSe nanosheets and nanoparticles by liquid exfoliation. High-purity MoWSe₂ powder can also be used in CV deposition to prepare high-quality mono- and bi-layer films.

Bilayer MoSSe shows a preferred pattern with AC-stacking, where the S atom in the bottom layer is pointing to the Mo atom in the top layer. The dipole properties, and carrier mobility of the electron and hole are greatly affected by changing the thickness of multilayer MoSSe films.
