MoS₂ (Molybdenum Disulfide)

Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) is a layered material similar to graphite, composed of a single layer of molybdenum atoms sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms. It’s known for its excellent lubricating properties, making it useful as a dry lubricant in machinery. MoS₂ is also a semiconductor with interesting electronic and optical properties, used in devices like transistors and sensors. Its strength, stability, and ability to conduct electricity in thin layers make it valuable in advanced technologies, including flexible electronics and energy storage systems.
