Abstract

We report the use of diatom frustules as scaffolds for the growth of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets. The frustules were impregnated with a single source molecular precursor complex which is converted to MoS2 by solventless thermolysis. Randomly oriented few-layer thick MoS2 nanosheets are found to coat both the exterior surface and internal pores of the scaffold.
