Graphical Abstract

Layered Cu2MoS4 nanosheets are prepared by L. Song, Z. Y. Wu, and co-workers via a solvothermal method, in which Cu2O is used as a sacrificial template. On page 4637, the microstructure of Cu2MoS4 nanosheets is identified at the atomic level. The growth mechanism is monitored on the nanoscale by systematic time-dependent experiments. It is found that the Kirkendall effect, Ostwald ripening, and oriented attachment play important roles in the growth process of ternary Cu2MoS4 atomic layers.
