In this study, a systematic investigation of MoS nanostructure growth on a SiO substrate was conducted using a two-stage process. Initially, a thin layer of Mo was grown through sputtering, followed by a sulfurization process employing the CVD technique. This two-stage process enables the control of diverse nanostructure formations of both MoS and MoO on SiO substrates, as well as the formation of bulk-like grain structures.
