Abstract

Electrochemical activity of differently pretreated single-wall subnanometer-diameter molybdenum disulfide tubes (nMoS2) was tested and compared with layered MoS2 material. In as prepared and de-iodized nMoS2 samples a significant increase in the charge capacity has been found compared to the one measured in dispersed nMoS2 or layered MoS2. Enhanced electrochemical activity has been attributed to a particular one-dimensional topology of nanotubes bundles. Electrochemically doped samples were then studied with X-band ESR. While undoped nMoS2 show no X-band ESR signal between room temperature and 4 K we found in heavily doped nMoS2 samples two distinct ESR components: a narrow component with a linewidth of few Guass and a broad component with a linewidth of more than 800 G. The broad ESR component is characteristic of Mo d-orbital-derived band. The temperature dependence of the ESR spin susceptibility and the linewidth of the broad ESR component can be discussed either in terms of conducting electrons coupled to defects or in terms of random-exchange Mo Heisenberg chain model.
