Abstract

The synthesis of nanotubes of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and tungsten disulfide (WS₂) was investigated. The preparation involved gas-phase reaction between MoO₃ and H₂S in the presence of argon. The investigation showed that nanotubes of molybdenum disulfide were readily formed with MoS₃ and (NH₄)₂MoS₄ in a reduced environment of hydrogen.
