Cu 2 MoS 4 nanosheets are synthesized by a solvothermal method in which the Cu 2 O starting material acts as a sacrificial template. The microstructure of the Cu 2 MoS 4 nanosheets is characterized at the atomic level, and the growth mechanism is monitored at the nanoscale through systematic time‐dependent experiments. As a result, the unprecedented observation of the allotropic phase change in Cu 2 MoS 4 that occurs during the solvothermal process is possible.
