(a) XRD patterns of the HA films incorporating Re:IF-MoS2 nanoparticles: film obtained from solution A (1), solution B (2) and solution C (3); (b) shows the XRD pattern of the film obtained from solution A (3 h) after annealing (700 °C for 1 h). Here, a strong crystalline peak associated with calcium pyrophosphate phase (Ca2(P2O7)) is observed. This phase is obtained through water evaporation from the HA (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) film. The presence of the Re:IF-MoS2 nanoparticles did not change appreciably upon annealing, suggesting that these NP are thermally stable at the annealing conditions.
