... Besides that, these nanosheets are more preferred over graphene for the production of biosensors due to their indirect bandgap and biocompatibility. They are also utilized in the production of fuels and value-added chemicals, such as MoS 2 -based co-catalysts have been used to provide the excellent costeffective and efficient hydrogen photocatalytic production due to their unsaturated sulfur (S) atoms and affinity for protons (H + ) in solution [28][29][30][31][32]. MoS 2 nanosheets have also been found to be an effective sulfurresistant catalyst for directly converting syngas that contains sulphur into value-added chemical products such as mixed and higher alcohols [33][34][35]. In addition, vacancy-rich MoS 2 catalysts are employed to convert CO 2 into methanol by using the hydrogenation process with high catalytic activity, better selectivity, and industrially relevant stability [36]. ...
