A PPC/PDMS stamp was used to pick the ReS2 flakes from the substrates, and was covered onto the SiNx grids using a transfer stage. The temperature was raised to 110 °C until the stamps and the grids were well contacted, and then the grids and the stamps were placed in acetone for 24 h at room temperature to remove the PPC.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
