Hybrid transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-nanoscrolls (NSs). a Schematic showing the cross section and sidewalls of hybrid TMD-NSs. b–h HR-TEM images of sidewalls of MoS₂-NSs hybridized with AuNPs (b), GO (c), pentacene (d), CuPc (e), PDPP3T (f), DNA (g) and polypeptide (h). AuNPs approximately 5 nm in diameter were clearly observed between the walls; the GO flakes were also distinguishable, as shown in c. Lattice expansion was displayed in all hybrid NSs above. The bright white walls represent the MoS₂ layers in (c–h) (scale bars, 10 nm in b and 2 nm in c–h)
