“…After releasing the electrodes from the stretching condition, bulk MoS 2 crystals (SPI supplies, PA, USA) were mechanically exfoliated using an adhesive tape (Nitto) and transferred onto the stretchable electrodes using a melted sucrose method, as previously described. 43,44 In short, sucrose, sourced from Synth (SP, Brazil), was melted at 250 °C and added dropwise onto the tape hosting pre-exfoliated bulk MoS 2 flakes. Following the solidification of sucrose, the resultant solid piece was carefully detached, placed on the gold substrate, and subjected to washing with heated (100 °C) de-ionized water.…”
