Molybdenum Tungsten Disulfide (MoWS2) Powder


Product Code M2141C1
Price $250.00 ex. VAT

MoWS2 high purity powder

Used to prepare quantum dot solutions and nano-platelets


Molybdenum tungsten disulfide (MoWS2) is a TMDC alloy. Alloying 2D TMDCs is an effective way of practically modulating the band gap. This is because alloys have good thermodynamic stability at room temperature.

Like MoS2 and WS2, MoWS2 has a hexagonal crystal structure, and bulk alloys are formed by stacking monolayer alloy together via van der Waals interactions. Each  monolayer contains one MoW plane sandwiched by two S planes, represented as an S-MoW-S layer.

Applications of Molybdenum Disulfide Powder

With a tunable band gap, band edge position, and carriers’ effective mass, thin-layer nanosheets of MoWS2 have applications in electrochemistry and possess superior hydrogen evolution reaction performance. It has also been used in the development of high-performance optical switching, Q-switching, mode-locking, optical limiting, and optoelectronic devices.

Synthesis

Molybdenum tungsten disulfide powder is obtained via the CVT method, with purity typically in excess of 99.995%.

Usage

Molybdenum tungsten disulfide powder is generally used to prepare MoWS2 quantum dot solutions and nano-platelets by liquid exfoliation assisted by sonication. High-purity MoWS2 powder can also be used in CV deposition to prepare high-quality monolayer films.
