Abstract
Twisted 2D TMDs with misorientation of layers have sparked utmost attention towards probing into an escalating new classification of materials with tuned materials characteristics. Yet, research on the scaling up of synthesis protocols and their electrochemical performance remains in its infancy. Herein, we present the first report on the observation of twisting angles (θ = 6.4°, 8.1°, 11.4°, 19°, 20.4°, 22° and 26°) in plasma sprayed exfoliated twisted MoS2. Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed the induced twist angles in exfoliated MoS2. Further, HR TEM investigation confirms the existence of twisting with significant moiré pattern in exfoliated MoS2 layers and corroborates with Raman spectra findings. Twisted MoS2 layers exhibited better electrochemical performance of 181F/g than bulk MoS2. This breakthrough observation paves the way to unveil the industrially friendly plasma spraying protocol for the synthesis of other and upcoming twisted 2D materials.
