Microwave-assisted synthesis of WS2 nanowires through tetrathiotungstate precursors

Tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanowires have been synthesized through a microwave-assisted chemical route that uses tungstic acid, elemental sulfur and monoethanolamine as starting reagents for obtaining a precursor solution of tetrathiotungstate ions. Acidification of the precursor solution yields amorp...
