Preparation and Characterization of Inorganic Fullerene-like MoS2 Nano-Material

The Inorganic Fullerene-like MoS2 was obtained by a simple precipitation method using the polyethylenegly colas the dispersant,The hydroxylamine hydrochloride as the reductant, and (NH4)2S as the sulfursource. Themorphology and structure of the product were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The results suggest that the polyethylene glycol dispersant can be adsorbed on the particle surface of the reaction precursor, amorphous MoS2 powders, to form a relative isolated environment. This isolated environment may induce an obstruct effect which helps the precursor nano-particles transfer to the IF structure in the subsequent calcinations process.
