Abstract- The fabrication of hydrothermally synthesized molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet-based membranes represents a promising advancement in membrane technology for applications in water purification, gas separation, and energy storage. This study focuses on the hydrothermal synthesis of MoS2 nanosheets, their characterization, and the subsequent fabrication of high-performance membranes. MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method, optimizing parameters such as temperature, reaction time, and precursor concentration to achieve uniform and defect-free nanosheets. The synthesized nanosheets were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm their structural integrity, morphology, and chemical composition. The MoS2 nanosheets were then incorporated on a Whatman filter paper using a simple vacuum-assisted filtration setup to fabricate membrane. This study highlights the potential of hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 nanosheets in the fabrication of a simple & easy filtration membrane for sustainable and efficient separation processes.
