Reverse micelle assisted hydrothermal reaction route for the synthesis of homogenous MoS2 nanospheres

Here in, for the first time, reverse micelle assisted relatively low temperature hydrothermal method has been reported to synthesize MoS 2 nanospheres (NS). The formation of MoS 2 NS was confirmed from TEM, SEM, XRD and EDAX analysis. Further, the influence of surfactant, stabilizing agent and temperature on the morphology, size and size distribution of the MoS 2 NS has been discussed coherently.
