A novel phase transition, from multilayered 2H-MoTe2 to a parallel bundle of sub-nanometer-diameter metallic Mo6 Te6 nanowires (NWs) driven by catalyzer-free thermal-activation (400-500 °C) under vacuum, is demonstrated. The NWs form along the 〈11-20〉 2H-MoTe2 crystallographic directions with lengths in the micrometer range. The metallic NWs can act as an efficient hole injection layer on top of 2H-MoTe2 due to favorable band-alignment. In particular, an atomically sharp MoTe2 /Mo6 Te6 interface and van der Waals gap with the 2H layers are preserved. The work highlights an alternative pathway for forming a new transition metal dichalcogenide phase and will enable future exploration of its intrinsic transportation properties
