    Structural and chemical characterization of MoO2/ MoS2 triple-hybrid materials using electron microscopy in up to three dimensions
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021) Frank, Anna; Gänsler, Thomas; Hieke, Stefan; Fleischmann, Simon; Husmann, Samantha; Presser, Volker; Scheu, Christina
    This work presents the synthesis of MoO2/MoS2core/shell nanoparticles within a carbon nanotube networkand their detailed electron microscopy investigation in up to three dimensions. The triple-hybrid core/shellmaterial was prepared by atomic layer deposition of molybdenum oxide onto carbon nanotube networks,followed by annealing in a sulfur-containing gas atmosphere. High-resolution transmission electronmicroscopy together with electron diffraction, supported by chemical analysisviaenergy dispersive X-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopy, gave proof of a MoO2core covered by few layers of a MoS2shell within an entangled network of carbon nanotubes. To gain further insights into this complexmaterial, the analysis was completed with 3D electron tomography. By usingZ-contrast imaging, distinctreconstruction of core and shell material was possible, enabling the analysis of the 3D structure of thematerial. These investigations showed imperfections in the nanoparticles which can impact materialperformance,i.e.for faradaic charge storage or electrocatalysis.
