Gmelin: Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry: Mo - Molybdenum: Supplement Vol B/7: Compounds with Sulfur

This supplement volume covers binary molybdenum sulfides and sulfide ions, the most prominent being molybdenum sulfide MoS2 on account of its numerous practical applications. It is a dry lubricant material and has become indispensable in high-vacuum and space applications. Semiconducting MoS2 photo-electrodes have achieved sizable solar energy conversions in photoelectrochemical cells. Its capability to reversibly intercalate lithium ions enables the construction of low-weight secondary batteries.
