Table 9.

Fractal dimension parameters as calculated by different methods from SEM images for both MoS2 and cobalt promoted MoS2 samples.

Method of analysis SEM-images at 1.0 µm
MoS2 MoS2 /Co
D p 1.64 ± 0.03 1.07 ± 0.02
D B 1.90 ± 0.01 1.37 ± 0.01
D I 1.92 ± 0.01 1.47 ± 0.01
D M 1.98 ± 0.01 2.02 ± 0.02

D P, D B, D I and D M are measured from TEM-images; D p scaling interval ∈ [1, 2]; D B scaling interval ∈ [1, 2]; D I scaling interval ∈ [1, 2]; D M ≥ 1.
