Combining MoS2 or MoSe2 nanoflakes with carbon by reacting Mo(CO)6 with S or Se under their autogenic pressure at elevated temperature

Preparation of MoS2 by a novel mechanochemical method

“…Conventionally, the synthesis methods of MoS 2 involve thermal decomposition [6], high temperature, solid-state reaction between molybdenum oxide and sulfur powders [7], chemical bath deposition [8], hydrothermal method [3,9,10], spray drying [11], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [12], even ␥-irradiation method [13], etc. Among these methods, nearly all the solid-state methods demand high temperature (600-1200 • C), and most of the aqueous state methods are performed in a pressurized device at relatively high temperatures (180-300 • C).…”

Preparation and Tribological Properties of MoS2 Nanosheets

“…[4] Over the past decades, many preparation methods, including thermal reduction, [5] hightemperature sulfurization, [6] metathesis reactions, [7] hydrothermal method, [8,9] sputter drying, [10] chemical vapor deposition (CVD), [11] and even g-irradiation method, [12] have been explored to obtain MoS 2 crystallites. A variety of morphologies have been synthesized to date, such as inorganic fullerene (IF)-like structures, [13,14] nanotubes, [15] nanorods, [16] nanowires, [17] nanoflowers, [18] nanospheres, [5] and so on.…”

Dry Autoclaving for the Nanofabrication of Sulfides, Selenides, Borides, Phosphides, Nitrides, Carbides, and Oxides

“…Furthermore, the MoS 2 or MoSe 2 nanoflakes inclusion38 with carbon is synthesized by thermal (750 °C) reaction between Mo(CO) 6 and S or Se at their autogenic pressure in a closed reactor under inert atmosphere. Likewise, WSe 2 /C nanofibers39 are fabricated during a 1 h chemical reaction between W(CO) 6 and Se at 750 °C in the dry autoclave.…”
