| contents | Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a widely studied layered material for electronic, optical, and catalytic applications. It can host lithium ions between the van der Waals layers, which triggers a phase transition between the semiconducting 2H phase and metallic 1T phase. While lithium insertion triggers a phase transition to the 1T phase, the phase behavior upon electrochemical lithium removal is not resolved. In this work, we conduct single-flake electrochemical (de)lithiation of MoS2 using microelectrode arrays. Through both electrochemical voltage analysis and correlative Raman spectroscopy, we show that an electrochemically cycled and delithiated MoS2 flake initially remains in the 1T phase. However, over the course of several days, it transitions back into the thermodynamically stable 2H phase. This result resolves the phase transformation pathway upon delithiation and showcases the ability to electrochemically synthesize the metastable 1T-MoS2 phase. |
