Cover Feature: Defect Engineering of Two‐Dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide (Chem. Eur. J. 29/2020)

An approach to controllably engineer the sulfur vacancies of chemically-exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets using a series of substituted thiophenols in solution was demonstrated in this work. This approach of controlled defect functionalization of 2D MoS2 can encourage further exploration of practical strategies to fulfill scalable production and application of defect-free MoS2 in a broad range.
