Abstract

Lithographic techniques have been used to prepare transmission electron microscopy samples of MoS2, allowing examination of the edge surface with single-layer resolution. We observe that these surfaces are easily disordered by chemical treatments common in the catalysis industry. In some cases treatment in H2/H2S leads to an exfoliation of the layered structure, a process which can be observed as it occurs in the microscope.
