Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as an extremely intriguing two-dimensional (2D) material with excellent electrocatalyst, has attracted more and more attentions in recent years. However, the lack of precisely engineered rich-edge S-vacancy MoS2constitutes a major obstacle for in-depth studying of structure-activity relationship of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, based on Lewis acid-base theory, we prepared rich-edge S-vacancy MoS2quantum dots (MoS2QDs)viatop-down strategy using lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide as a stripper and clipper. It is demonstrated for the first time that the rich-edge S-vacancy MoS2QDs exhibit an extraordinary ORR/OER catalytic performance in Li-O2batteries system by a joint experimental and theoretical study. Importantly, the rich-edge S-vacancy MoS2QDs can run more than 230 cycles at high current density, which was almost 9 times longer than the cycle stability of bulk MoS2. The excellent activity arises primarily due to that the MoS2QDs facilitate conformal growth of amorphous Li2O2film on the cathode, originating from the significant differences of adsorption energies between Li+and O2, which could significantly enhanced Li2O2formation/decomposition kinetics. This work provides a novel way for controllable synthesis of rich-edge S-vacancy MoS2QDs, establishes the underlying mechanisms for the high OER/ORR activity, and suggests high translatability to apply other TMDs.
