The bottom-up approach is more advantageous than the top-down approach with respect to nanomaterial production, particularly, the solvothermal method. The top-down method consists in breaking down large pieces of material to generate the required nanostructures, whereas bottom-up approach implies assembling single atoms and molecules into larger nanostructures. As known, nanomaterials are obtained using various methods following bottom-up and top-down approaches. This technique was used afterward for the production of innovative nanomaterials of interest for different fields, such as catalysis and environment protection and energy, as well as medicine and mechanics. The technique was inspired from a natural production of many minerals in the earthвЂ™s crust under the conditions of high temperature and pressure permitting the formation of many minerals. The solvothermal synthesis is among the widely used methods for nanomaterials production through chemical reactions in a closed system involving appropriate solvent at temperatures higher than its boiling point. The obtained result showed that the approach adopted in the study might be of interest for further investigation of the process design and scaling-up. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the precursors have more significant impact on the obtained amount of molybdenum disulfide compared to hydrazine. The adopted approach consists in simulating the synthesis process based on experimental data, obtained at laboratory scale followed by sensitivity analysis with respect to the following precursors: ammonium heptamolybdate, elemental sulfur, and hydrazine used as a reducing agent.
