Synthesis of tungsten disulphide nanoparticles by the chemical vapor condensation method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crystalline tungsten disulphide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the chemical vapor condensation (CVC) method. The process performed as decomposition of tungsten hexacarbonyl over sulphur vapor in inert gas flow, where WS2 nanoparticles were synthesized by direct reaction between as formed pure tungsten nanoclusters and sulphur vapor. Influence of experimental parameters on shape, size distribution, structure and phase composition of nanoparticles were evaluated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The produced nanoparticles have closely spherical shape with the mean size in the range 20–70nm in diameter dependently of process parameters. Nested ‘‘onion-like’’ structure of nanoparticles was observed. The mean value of interlayer distance in the {0 0 01} direction, is about 0.635870.031nm. Due to nanodimensional size, physical properties and layered structure tungsten disulphide nanoparticles have great potential as a solid lubricant material. & 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
