Abstract

(NH₄)₂MoS₄ and (NH₄)₂WS₄ form solid solutions over the entire composition range. Nanotubes of Mo_1-x W_xS₂ solid solutions have been prepared by employing these solid solutions precursors. Thus, the thermal decomposition of (NH₄)₂Mo_1-x W_xS₄ in an inert or a hydrogen atmosphere yields Mo_1-x W_xS₂ nanotubes, those with x < 0.1 being more readily obtained. The nanotubes exhibit novel tip architectures and defects. Single-walled nanotubes have also been observed in some samples.
