Applcations
Due to its distinctive electron configuration and high specific surface area, few-layer tungsten disulfide nanosheets have potential applications in electrodes and energy storage devices, supercapacitors, and photoelectrochemical cells as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). With tunable electromagnetic absorption, it has practical applications against electromagnetic pollution. WS2 is also a great potential candidate in photothermal therapy for the ablation of cancer cells, when NIR light is absorbed and converted into heat.
Synthesis
High-quality tungsten disulfide few-layer films were grown directly on the substrates (sapphire) via the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method.
Usage
WS2 few-layer films can be used for research purposes such as microscopic analysis, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy studies. Few-layer WS2 films can also be transferred to other substrates.
