Most of the papers I have come across used this method(cyclic voltammetry) because their samples are organic semiconductor (organic polymers). But my sample is MoS2 (inorganic material)Thin film, a few layer thick.
Dear colleague Frederick Agyapong-Fordjour
Have a nice time and good day.
HOMO-LUMO levels characterize the organic materials not inorganic materials. In inorganic materials you need to determined Valence band which corresponds to HOMO-in organic materials- and conduction band which corresponds to LUMO - in organic materials-.
I wish this is useful and help you.

How CV can useful to determine HOMO-LUMO in organic Materials?
Please Discuss in detail.
@Samima Khatun : Can you please explain us how do we use CV for calculating HOMO -LUMO for inorganic materials ?
@ kumuthini Rajendran: Inorganic materials does not have homo- lumo level.. This could be oxidation and reduction potential that we can find out from the CV experiments. The potential stability also we can able to study from CV. You may do mott-schottky experiments to calculate such VB, CB, career concentration and flat band potentials.. and Impedance studies as well..
