文摘

The fast thermolysis of ammonium molybdate leads to a mixture of MoO₃ and Mo_5.3O_14.5(OH)_2.8(H₂O)_1.36 with spherical and rod-like morphologies. The oxide mixture can be converted in quantitative yield to inorganic fullerene-type (IF) MoS₂ and MoS₂ nanotubes (NT) by H₂S reduction using a facile and quick procedure. The products were studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). TEM analysis reveals that the spherical and rod-like morphology of the oxide precursor is preserved during the H₂S treatment.
