Abstract

Thermal decomposition of the respective trisulfides in a reducing (H₂/inert gas) atmosphere has enabled nanotubes of HfS₂, ZrS₂, and TiS₂ to be synthesized and characterized. The dimensions of the nanotubes formed depend on the Group 4 metal used. The transmission electron micrograph image shows nanotubular structures of HfS₂ with outer diameters of 55-60 nm and inner core diameters of 17-30 nm.
