The 0D–2D nucleation and growth mode is presented in molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) chemical vapor deposition synthesis. Partially sulfured molybdenum suboxide nucleation centers are demonstrated experimentally, followed by these centers being converted to MoS 2 nanoparticles and MoS 2 layer growth initiation from the nanoparticle edges. The work reveals the mechanism for MoS 2 nucleation and growth.
