Figure 3: Evidence of Zero-Valent Intercalation.

(a) GIXRD patterns of single crystal MoS₂ and (b) Pt-MoS₂; (c) Corresponding 1D spectra in the out-of-plane direction. (d,e) TEM images of the nanosheets exfoliated from bulk Pt-MoS₂. Corresponding (f) SAED and (g) EDS spectrum of the exfoliated Pt-MoS₂. Scale bar, d,e 50 nm; f 5 nm⁻¹.
