High phase-purity 1T′-MoS2- and 1T′-MoSe2-layered crystalsHigh phase-purity 1T′-MoS<sub>2</sub>- and 1T′-MoSe<sub>2</sub>-layered crystals, Published online: 02 April 2018; doi:10.1038/s41557-018-0035-6The phase in which a crystal exists can have a direct influence over its properties; however, it is usually difficult to control during synthesis. Now it has been shown that micrometre-sized metallic 1T′-MoS2- and 1T′-MoSe2-layered crystals can be prepared in high phase purity on a large scale, and that they display promising electrocatalytic activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction.
