pp. 1-4
Molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles is prepared by thermal decomposition of ammonium tetrathiomolybdate.The morphology, composition and structure of the product is tested by TEM,SEM,XRD and ED.Results showed that the resultant dark-gray molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles have average diameter less than 100 nm.The product is hexagonal lattice,a=0.316 nm,c=1.229 nm,it is quite pure,almost free of impurities from comparison of X-ray diffraction pattern with JCPDS.ED analysis also showed that nanoparticles were highly-crystallized multi-crystals,with continuous and clear diffraction ring at surface such as (0004), (0110) and (0112) in conformance with XRD analysis results.Discussion is made on the factors affecting the formation of molybdenum disulfide powder such as the reaction temperature,duration,the material layer thickness,carrier gas flowrate,the reaction material.
