Thus, the broadening of the diffraction spot on Au can be associated with the lack of crystallinity in the Au film and the lattice mismatch-induced strain in MoS2. The absence of such broadening in the samples exfoliated on Ag could be due to the different interaction mechanisms of MoS2 with Ag with respect to Au. Hence, more advanced studies on the nature of the interaction between 2D layers and metals are needed.
