Abstract

Conductive and paintable inks of 2D layered MoS2 with aspect ratio-dependent conductivity are demonstrated. Using ultrasonically assisted solvent-exfoliation of MoS2, high concentration 2D and few-layer suspensions become inks that provide coherent films when painted. Conductivity of paintable 2D MoS2 inks can be modulated by length and width, where the conductivity is linked to the painting direction. Reducing the painted film width, increases conductivity for similar length, and the films conductivity is aspect ratio-dependent. Inks of solvent-exfoliated 2D MoS2 can be painted without polymeric additives.
