Novel nanocomposite material consisting of poly[oxymethylene-(oxyethylene)] and molybdenum disulfide

Poly[oxymethylene-(oxyethylene)] has been inserted in the gallery space of MoS2 by using the exfoliation/re-stacking properties of LiMoS2. The resulting intercalation compound shows enhanced electronic conductivity due to a structural transformation of the MoS2 framework. The material was also characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.
