Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has emerged as a promising material in the search for sustainable energy solutions due to its exceptional properties. This article comprehensively explores the potential of MoS2 in energy-related applications, focusing on its structure, synthesis methods, and engineering strategies. The unique structural features of MoS2, such as its monolayer and hierarchical architecture, are examined in detail, highlighting their significant impact on energy conversion and storage phenomena. Additionally, various synthesis techniques, including both top-down and bottom-up approaches, are discussed, along with how these methods can be tailored to control the morphology and properties of MoS2 for specific applications. Engineering strategies to optimize MoS2 for energy technologies are also explored. These include nanostructure tuning, heteroatom doping, heterostructure integration, and manipulation of interlayer spaces, all of which can enhance the material’s performance in energy generation and storage devices. The importance of these strategies in improving the efficiency, stability, and scalability of MoS2-based technologies is emphasized. Overall, this work underscores the immense potential of MoS2 for propelling energy technologies toward sustainability and efficiency, instilling hope and optimism for the future of the energy field.
