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.

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 ...
