Technical Data | MSDS | Structure | Literature and Reviews | Related Products | Resources and Support


Vanadium diselenide (VSe2), CAS number 12299-51-3, is a TMDC material. With a sandwiched layer structure, its layers are bound by weak van de Waals forces which allow the isolation of each layer from its bulk crystals (or powder) to reduce the dimensionality - by either mechanical or chemical exfoliation.

In bulk form VSe2 is paramagnetic. It commonly condenses in the 1T structure, which is metallic with no optical bandgap. Monolayer VSe2 has magnetic characteristics and a lower work-function at its edge. However, strong room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in VSe2 monolayers grown on van der Waals substrates such as graphite.

Bulk single vanadium diselenide crystals are most commonly used as sources from which single or few-layer sheets can be obtained via either mechanical or liquid exfoliation. Single vanadium diselenide crystal or films produced from such crystals are suitable for study using atomic force microscopy or transmission electron microscopy

Vanadium diselenide powder can also be used to prepare VSe2 nanosheets and nanoparticles by liquid-exfoliation (normally assisted by sonication), especially when it is the case of foreign elements such as lithium or sodium cations being inserted between layers by the process of intercalation. Liquid exfoliation can provide mass production of such products.

Structure of Vanadium Diselenide


In nature, vanadium diselenide (VSe2) exists only in 1T as its thermodynamically-stable phase (space group: P63mc). Single-layer VSe2 film consists of stacks of one layer of hexagonally close-packed transition metal vanadium atoms sandwiched between two layers of chalcogen selenium atoms in the sequence of Se–V–Se. The metal atoms are octahedrally coordinated and covalently bonded to the chalcogen atoms. The layers are stacked together by van der Waals (vdW) forces. Like black phosphorus and MoSe2, these can be exfoliated into 2D thin layers.

Viscoelastic Transfer of 2D Material Using PDMS

Viscoelastic transfer using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps is one of the methods used for the deterministic placement of 2D materials and the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures. It relies on the viscoelasticity of PDMS, which behaves as an elastic solid on short time scales, but as a viscous fluid on long time scales.
