Abstract

Graphene has been decorated by nanoparticles of noble metals and other inorganic materials. In the present study, we have decorated graphene-like MoS2 and MoSe2, containing 3–5 layers, with Au, Ag and Pt nanoparticles. We have characterized these nanocomposites using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and absorption spectroscopy. The studies reveal that the surfaces of the layered inorganic materials get uniformly coated with the noble metal nanoparticles. There are indications that the interaction of the metal particles with these layered materials is rather weak.
