An important class of 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene is the family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). In MoS2 a semiconducting (2H) and a metallic (1T) phase can co-exist. We investigate the electronic and transport properties of a hybrid MoS2 monolayer composed by a 1T strip embedded in the 2H MoS2 phase. Using density functional theory based calculations with the non-equilibrium Greens functions (NEGF) approach, we study in detail the structural and electronic properties of hybrid MoS2 and its interface. A clear anisotropy in the electronic and transmission properties of the hybrid material was found and linked to the microstructure of its interfaces. We also show the relevance of such a material to sensing DNA with MoS2 nanopores. In order to understand the formation of this nanopore, a single point-defect analysis is performed also assessing the stability of the hybrid system and the different pore terminations. The current modulation around a nanopore when placing DNA in the pore manifests the strong potential of hybrid MoS2 in next generation biosensing devices.
