• . Experimental Liquid-phase exfoliation of MoO3 Bulk molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) powder was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (99% purity, 300 mesh) and 2-butanone was procured from Finar Limited (AR, 98% purity). All materials were used without further purification. Bulk MoO3 powder suspensions with different initial

• and fuel cells [5]. Meanwhile, the thermoelectric application of TMO-based materials has been explored and their poor efficiency is still the major difficulty [6]. Among the TMOs, layered molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) has attracted attention as a potential electrode material in electrochemical products

• process is known as one of the scalable methods to synthesize MoS2 nanostructures. In this study, the gas sensing properties of flower-shaped MoS2 nanoflakes, which were prepared from molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) by a facile hydrothermal method, have been studied. Material characterization was performed
