Sulphur-promoted growth of Mo 6 S 2 I 8 nanowires via a metastable MoI 2-x S x intermediate
Puntos clave
This research aims to understand the role of sulphur in the formation and stability of Mo-S-I nanostructures.
Synthesis of Mo-S-I nanowires with varying sulphur content
Characterization of nanowire morphology and phase stability
Analysis of the metastable MoI2-xSx intermediate
Sulphur significantly stabilizes the Mo-S-I phases during growth
Improved morphology and structural integrity of nanowires due to sulphur incorporation
Identification of the MoI2-xSx intermediate as essential for nanowire formation
Resumen
Sulphur incorporation plays a crucial role in the formation of Mo-S-I nanostructures, but its effect on phase stability and morphology has remained unclear. Here, we show that trace sulphur stabilizes...
