a Schematic illustration of a high-index Au(223) facet. b Representative photography of the evolved Au(223) single-crystal film on the W template. c. XRD pattern of Au/W foils showing the evolution of single-crystal Au(111) film. Inset: AFM image of a single-crystal Au film with Au(223) facet. d Representative EBSD IPF maps of the as-prepared Au films, with crystal facets of (111), (223), (235), (456), (213), (346), (434), (345), respectively. The scale bars in all panels are 1 mm. e, f SEM images of the unidirectionally aligned monolayer MoS2 ribbons evolved on single-crystal Au(456) (e) and Au(346) (f), respectively.
