Metal deposition on transition metal dichalcogenides under vacuum conditions has been shown to result in the formation of metal nanowires for a number of systems [1]. Here we demonstrate that similar nanowires can also be formed by electrochemical deposition, using Cu electrodeposition on TaS2 as an example. Studies by cyclic voltammetry, ex-situ scanning electron microscopy, and in-situ scanning tunnelling microscopy reveal characteristic differences to Cu nanowires formed by vacuum deposition as well as details on the growth process.
