General Description
Tantalum diselenide (TaSe2), with a crystal structure of hexagonal symmetry, is another family member of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). It is metallic nature at room temperature.
In its bulk form, 2H-TaSe2 showed two-step charge-density-wave (CDW) transitions. The first transition from the metallic phase to the incommensurate charge-density-wave (ICDW) phase was at 123K, The next was a commensurate charge-density-wave (CCDW) phase transition at 90K, followed by a superconducting transition at low temperature (Tc ∼ 0.2 K).
Applications
Besides being an important CDW material, TaSe2 has several other interesting applications. It can function as an interconnect in devices, as well as an energy storage device material with intercalation of lithium ions and high volumetric capacitors.
Synthesis
Tantalum diselenide powder is obtained via the CVT method, with a purity in excess of 99.995% achieved.
Usage
Tantalum diselenide powder is suitable for liquid chemical exfoliation to prepare TaSe2 nanosheets and nanoparticles down to few-layer films. TaSe2 powder is also used in the preparation of mono-layer and few-layer films via chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
