Tungsten Disulfide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Tungsten disulfide is the chemical compound with the formula WS2. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral tungstenite. Tungsten disulfide is a component of certain catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification.
Now let's take a look how Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) Sputtering Targets (Size:3'' ,Thickness:0.125'' ,Purity:99.9%)  can be used. We all know that as the development of science and technology, especially flourishing development of space technology, the requirement of lubricating material has been increasing accordingly.
Development high-performance solid lubricating material has been exigent problem. Transition metal dichalcogenides are layered semiconductors. They have been extensively studied in the form of thin films for their potential applications in photovoltaic solar cells. These are layered compound semiconductors and crystallize in the hexagonal form P63/mmc. Each layer consists of metal layer sandwiched between two chalcogen layers in a trigonal prismatic structure. They exhibit in-plane strong covalent bonds between the metal and chalcogen atoms and weak Van der Waals type interactions between the layers. In recent decade, some transition metal dichalcogenides, such as tungsten disulphide and molybdenum disulfide, are well known for their solid lubricating behavior and used for solid lubricants due to their extreme degree of anisotropy of the layered crystal structures. Under a shearing force the basal planes slide back and forth over one another by intracrystalline slip and transfer to the rubbing counterface. As a late-model excellent solid lubrication films tungsten disulfide films performance is better than classical molybdenum disulfide films in some aspects. So the tribological behavior of tungsten disulfide films has been paid more and more attention. We can obtain tungsten disulfide thin films by some different methods, but in laboratory the RF magnetron sputtering is the most efficient method. As the deposition parameters different, properties of tungsten disulfide thin films obtained by RF magnetron sputtering are inevitable different.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
