Abstract

Nanotubes of HfS₂, ZrS₂, NbS₂, and TaS₂ have been obtained by the reduction of the corresponding metal trisulfides in a stream of H₂ (mixed with an inert gas in some cases) at elevated temperatures. The nanotubes have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other techniques. These disulfide nanotubes make an important addition to the growing family of nanotubes of inorganic layered materials.
