“…XRD is employed to further investigate the crystal structure of DR-MoS 2 -4 NFs after gold reduction, and the result is shown in Figure b. Three diffraction peaks are detected at 13.87, 33.14, and 58.59°, which can be assigned to 2H-MoS 2 (JCPDS 73-1508). , Besides, three sharp diffraction peaks along the (111), (200), and (220) planes at 38.18, 44.4, and 64.58 correspond to gold (JCPDS 04-0784). , This result clearly reveals the efficient piezo-photocatalytic reduction of DR-MoS 2 -4 NFs to Au(I) and the formation of gold.…”
