Abstract

Microwave-induced plasmas (MIPs) of H2S and N-2/H-2 have been used to sulfidize and reduce WO3 and MS3 (where M = Zr and Hf) phases respectively. Characterization by powder x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques shows that inorganic fullerene structures Of WS2 and nanorods/nanotubes of ZrS2 can be synthesized. In all cases the structures appear to exhibit a higher concentration of defects and final morphologies are reflective of the precursor used. Furthermore, for ZrS2 and HfS2 phases significant post-synthesis oxidation is observed.
