We fabricate ion-gated field-effect transistors (iFET) on mechanically exfoliated multilayer MoS2. We encapsulate the flake by Al2O3, leaving the device channel exposed at the edges only. A stable Li+ intercalation in the MoS2 lattice is induced by gating the samples with a Li-based polymeric electrolyte above similar to 330 K and the doping state is fixed by quenching the device to similar to 300 K. This intercalation process induces the emergence of anomalies in the temperature dependence of the sheet resistance and its first derivative, which are typically associated with structural/electronic/magnetic phase transitions. We suggest that these anomalies in the resistivity of MoS2 can be naturally interpreted as the signature of a transition to a charge-density-wave phase induced by lithiation, in accordance with recent theoretical calculations.
