Abstract

We show that bulk MoS₂ can be efficiently exfoliated into ultrathin nanosheets in supercritical CO₂ with ethanol as cosolvent. Moreover, such tailored MoS₂ nanostructures, when they are directly used as labels for bioimaging, show excellent imaging effects with strong fluorescence and nontoxicity.
