Abstract

Recently, carbon nanotube have been showing great interest in the field of nanotechnology for its exceptional physical, electronic properties. The synthesis procedure of crystalline carbon nanotube are immensely tough for which researchers are focused on amorphous carbon nanotube. Furthermore the presence of dangling bonds in amorphous carbon nanotube makes it easily reactable with other nanomaterial to form into nanohybrids. This nanohybrids are quite challengeable to crystalline carbon nanotube in various applications. Based on the properties of prepared nanohybrids, it is used in several application such as toxic dye removal from water, high-performance lithium ion batteries, field-emission display devices, cold cathode, electromagnetic wave absorber etc.Furthermore,In recent days, among transitional metal dichalcogenides, molybdenum disulfide are most interesting material in the field of microelectronics and optoelectronics due to its distinctive properties. Bandgap of this material varies from 1.2 ev (bulk MoS2 with indirect bandgap ) to 1.9 ev (MoS2 nanosheets with direct bandgap) which makes it feasible in many applications. Specially MoS2 nanosheets shows superior applications for their fine physical, electronic and optical properties. In some cases such as fabrication of field effect transistor based biosensor, it is preferable over graphene a two dimensional material. Moreover, Synthesis procedure of MoS2 nanosheets are quiet simple and easy. For synthesis of MoS2 nanosheets, numerous procedure has been discovered so far. In this paper, a review about the synthesis and applications of amorphous carbon nanotube were discussed.Fewproperties of amorphous carbon nanotube has also been described in sort. Furthermore, a little bit concept about the different synthesis method of MoS2 nanosheets were described. Peak analysis of MoS2 nanosheets from numerous characteristics methods were also mentioned here.
