Molybdenum disulfide is the inorganic compound (MoS2). Molybdenum disulfide is similar to graphite. It is widely used as a solid lubricant because of its low friction properties and robustness. As a transition metal di-chalcogenide, MoS2 possesses some of graphene's desirable qualities (such as mechanical strength and electrical conductivity), and can emit light, opening possible applications such as photodetectors.
