Abstract
Large number of active edge sites of MoS2 make it able in various energy applications. Structure and chemical environment of MoS2 influence its energy features. Interpretation of Raman scattering data of a sample shine light on to the chemical environment of atoms. Temperature of crystal, laser power, size, number of layers, strain, pressure, and defects of crystal can influence Raman scattering. The effects of such external factors on peak position, peak broadness, and intensity are reviewed here. This chapter attempts to explain the attributes and inference of Raman scattering data, which is a successful tool for examining the structure and chemical environment of MoS2. Different factors that are affecting the characteristic Raman peaks of MoS2 are being analyzed here.
