However, these properties may vary significantly among samples of different origins. Here, we present a systematic comparative study of two MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    samples obtained from distinct sources: a laboratory-synthesized material (MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013S) and a commercially available one (MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013C). Using liquid-phase exfoliation in three pure solvents (acetonitrile, ethanol, and water) and two binary solvent mixtures (water\/ethanol and water\/acetonitrile, 1:1 v\/v), we investigate how precursor genesis and solvent characteristics jointly govern exfoliation\/fragmentation behavior, dispersion stability, and processability. Comprehensive characterization by UV\u2013Vis and Raman spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy reveals pronounced sample-dependent differences. MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013S consists of smaller, thinner flakes with abundant edge sites and structural defects, which favors a combined process of ultrasonic fragmentation, partial layer delamination, and colloidal stabilization, leading to highly concentrated and long-term stable dispersions. In contrast, MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013C is composed of larger, highly crystalline flakes dominated by extended basal planes, which exhibit more resistance to both fragmentation and layer separation, resulting in lower dispersion yields and poor colloidal stability. Importantly, these differences persist beyond the dispersion stage. Selected solvents were employed to construct analytical calibration curves and to fabricate thin films with controlled loadings via a liquid\u2013liquid interfacial route. A direct correlation is established between the quality of the initial dispersion and the homogeneity of the resulting films, demonstrating that precursor-controlled exfoliation behavior critically determines downstream processability. Overall, this work highlights precursor genesis as a key and often overlooked parameter in MoS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    processing, showing that materials with identical chemical composition can behave as fundamentally distinct systems when transformed from\n                    <jats:italic>bulk<\/jats:italic>\n                    powders into dispersions and thin films.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-648x\/ae72df","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T22:54:34Z","timestamp":1779836074000},"page":"245201","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Beyond chemical composition: how precursor genesis governs MoS\n                    <sub>2<\/sub>\n                    exfoliation, dispersion, stability and thin-film processability"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6393-8165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria K","family":"Ramos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3418-1407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia S","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4652-3191","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ana P","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5607-6598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria C S","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5325-4483","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carla R","family":"Klimpovuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9126-6135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda F","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8820-6850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o V","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6670-1933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduarda","family":"Rubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4876-2464","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aldo J G","family":"Zarbin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Paran\u00e1 (UFPR), CP 19032"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"cmae72dfbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fuel.2023.128923","type":"journal-article","article-title":"A contemplating review on different synthesis methods of 2D-Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets","volume":"351","author":"Karim","year":"2023","journal-title":"Fuel"},{"key":"cmae72dfbib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1220","DOI":"10.5935\/0100-4042.20140150","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Dissulfeto de molibd\u011bnio, um material multifuncional e surpreendente: doze anos depois","volume":"37","author":"Wypych","year":"2014","journal-title":"Quim.
