I have synthesized MoS2 nanoflowers using a hydrothermal method with ammonium molybdate as the Mo precursor and thiourea as the sulfur source. Additionally, I introduced oxalic acid into the reaction mixture. I'm curious to understand the role of oxalic acid in this synthesis. Specifically, can oxalic acid induce the creation of sulfur vacancies in the resulting MoS2 nanoflowers? I would appreciate insights or references related to this topic.
Oxalic acid can promote the dissolution of hematite. This process involves electron transfer, which can make the hydroxyl group indicated by the structure of hematite combine with protons to form water, while oxalic acid ultimately becomes carbon dioxide due to the loss of electrons. I hope this process will be helpful to your research
