Preferential Pt nanocluster seeding at grain boundary dislocations in polycrystalline monolayer MoS2

We show that Pt nanoclusters preferentially nucleate along the grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline MoS2 monolayer films, with dislocations acting as the seed site. Atomic resolution studies by aberration-corrected annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal periodic spa...
