Molybdenum Disulfide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Molybdenum disulfide is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur. Its chemical formula is MoS2.
The compound is classified as a transition metal dichalcogenide. It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal one for molybdenum. MoS2 is relatively unreactive. It is unaffected by dilute acids and oxygen. In appearance and feel, Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%) is similar to graphite. It is widely used as a dry lubricant because of its low friction and robustness.
Molybdenum disulfide is made up of a single layer of a hexagonal crystal system or multiple layers connected by weak Van der Waals forces. Single-layered molybdenum disulfide consists of three atomic shells: a molybdenum (Mo) atomic shell in the middle and sulfur (S) atomic shells on both the top and bottom. There are very strong covalent bonds between the Mo atoms and S atoms that form the 2D atomic crystals. Natural molybdenum disulfide sputtering target is usually the hexagonal phase, which has semiconducting properties.
Now let's take a look at the applications of molybdenum disulfide sputtering targets. Molybdenum disulfide films obtained by sputtering methods can be used as solid lubricants for rotating and sliding components. Molybdenum disulfide is used as a solid lubricant not only in conventional lubrication situations but also in high temperature and high vacuum environments. Molybdenum disulfide can be sputtered on various surfaces like sapphire for the purpose of rapid thermal annealing.

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
