XRD analyses were conducted to assess the phases and structures of the LDH materials with and without the NF support. Figure reveals distinct XRD peaks at 44.8 • and 51.9 ever, the above SEM-EDS elemental mapping and EDS analyses clearly confirm the presence of Mo and MoS 2 in the LDH samples. We assume that the prominent peaks originating from NF overshadowed the diffraction peaks of the Mo and MoS 2 species.
