Figure 5

TEM imaging and EELS analysis of the IF-WS2/Cr2O3 nanocomposite coatings. (a) HREM image of an IF-WS2 particle showing typical layered structure formed by S-W-S sheets. (b) Qualitative compositional profiles after PCA analysis across an IFLM particle showing that no interdiffusion or oxidation of the particle takes place. The integrated signal has not been divided by the cross-section; the black line in the inset has the length of 130 nm.
