“…The mechanism of IF formation necessarily includes the release of matter from the interior of the particles and perhaps has some common features with the "giant bubble shrinking" mechanism as proposed by Tremel and colleagues. 36 At moderate temperatures (400-500 C in our case) MoS 2 crystallizes and starts to form extended layers on the surface of the reacting particles. However at increased temperature crystallizing ZnS disrupts the MoS 2 shell in order to be liberated.…”

“…Tenne and co-workers first reported the synthesis of MoS 2 nanotubes through gas phase reaction . Subsequently, MoS 2 nanotubes were widely synthesized using various precursors, such as Mo 6 S 2 I 8 , MoS 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 or (NH 4 ) 2 Mo 3 S 13 , − Mo(CO) 6 and MoO 3 -amine hybrid . Zhang and co-workers reported a wet etching method to prepare MoS 2 nanotubes through in situ grown three-dimensional (3D) MoS 2 nanomasks on the surface of inner MoO x , which was etched to generate poorly crystallized MoS 2 nanotubes .…”

MoS2 nanotubes have received much attention due to their wide applications in various areas. However, the synthetic strategies to fabricate few-layer/single-layer nanosheet-assembled MoS2 nanotubes have rarely been developed. Herein, we have developed a hydrothermal route to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) nanosheet-assembled MoS2 nanotubes employing 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMIM]SCN) as a sulfur source and stabilizer. The obtained nanostructure with both advantages of tubular and nanosheets are able to cause the formation of some mesoporous structure, which are facilitate the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, the contact between the electrode and electrolyte, and the improvement of the mechanical stability of the electrode. These outstanding properties suggesting a potential application in high energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), and that we believe that this simple approach can be applied to synthesize other transitional-metal chalcogenide 3D hollow structures.

“…There are many materials that form nanotubes and nested fullerenes similar to carbon, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] but so far, no "single-wall" nano-spheres analogous to C 60 and B 40 have been observed. MoS 2 and WS 2 are layered materials which exhibit a certain similarity to carbon.…”

Experimental results of the search for inorganic fullerenes are presented. MonSm− and WnSm− clusters are generated with a pulsed arc cluster ion source equipped with an annealing stage. This is known to enhance fullerene formation in the case of carbon. Analogous to carbon, the mass spectra of the metal chalcogenide clusters produced in this way exhibit a bimodal structure. The species in the first maximum at low mass are known to be platelets. Here, the structure of the species in the second maximum is studied by anion photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and scanning tunneling microcopy. All experimental results indicate a two-dimensional structure of these species and disagree with a three-dimensional fullerene-like geometry. A possible explanation for this preference of two-dimensional structures is the ability of a two-element material to saturate the dangling bonds at the edges of a platelet by excess atoms of one element. A platelet consisting of a single element only cannot do this. Accordingly, graphite and boron might be the only materials forming nano-spheres because they are the only single element materials assuming two-dimensional structures.
