Solvothermal Synthesis of Ternary Cu2MoS4 Nanosheets: Structural Characterization at the Atomic Level

Cu2MoS4 nanosheets are synthesized by a solvothermal method in which the Cu2O starting material acts as a sacrificial template. The microstructure of the Cu2MoS4 nanosheets is characterized at the atomic level, and the growth mechanism is monitored at the nanoscale through systematic time-dependent experiments. As a result, the unprecedented observation of the allotropic phase change in Cu2MoS4 that occurs during the solvothermal process is possible.
