Tungsten Disulfide Crystal, high purity 2D semiconducting TMDCs material

For applications in light-emitting devices, solar cells, and photodetectors


Like other TMDC family members, tungsten disulfide (WS2, CAS number 12138-09-9) has a two-dimensional structure. It consists of a layer of hexagonally-arranged tungsten atoms positioned between two layers of hexagonally-arranged sulphur atoms.

Individual layers are held together by Van der Waals forces. This makes it possible for single to few-layer ultra-thin films to be prepared from bulk crystals using mechanical exfoliation techniques. The primitive unit cell of WS2 consists of one tungsten atom and two sulphur atoms, arranged in a trigonal prismatic configuration.

Applications of Tungsten Disulfide

Applications

Used to prepare monolayer and few-layer

With a photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield that is almost two orders of magnitude higher at room temperature than MoS2, WS2 is one of the most popular 2D semiconducting TMDCs materials, and is widely explored for applications in light-emitting devices, solar cells, and photodetectors.

Applications of Tungsten Disulfide Crystal

In the form of single or few-layer thin films, exfoliated WS2 nanosheets find applications ranging from light emitters, field effect transistors (FETs) and photovoltaics. Like many other TMDCs, they are actively used in condensed matter physics and photonics research.

Synthesis

Tungsten disulfide WS2 is manufactured using chemical vapour transport (CVT) crystallisation, with crystals having a purity in excess of 99.999%.

Usage

Tungsten disulfide WS2 can be used to prepare monolayer and few-layer WS2 by mechanical or liquid exfoliation.
