Abstract

We describe a novel excimer laser-based route for the fabrication of crystalline MoS2 nanoneedles. Laser annealing of MoS2 thin films at a low energy density of 0.08 Jcm−2 resulted in a closed-pack structure with low defects and excellent conductivity due to melting and rapid quenching. A further increase in laser annealing energy density resulted in the formation of MoS2 nano-needles. This structure of MoS2 was found to have a remarkable reduction ability for H2O2 at − 0.14 V over a wide linear range; a low detection limit (0.45 nM (S/N = 3)) and sensitivity of 2.38 μA/mM cm−2 were demonstrated.
