Synthesis and characterization of WS₂ inorganic nanotubes with encapsulated/intercalated CsI

WS₂ nanotubes have been filled and intercalated by molten phase caesium iodide. The presence of caesium iodide inside the WS₂ nanotubes has been determined using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) coupled with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-dispersive X-ray...

description WS₂ nanotubes have been filled and intercalated by molten phase caesium iodide. The presence of caesium iodide inside the WS₂ nanotubes has been determined using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) coupled with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Noticeably, a Moiré pattern was observed due to the interference between encapsulated CsI and WS₂ layers. The intercalation of CsI into the host concentric WS₂ lattices resulted in an increase in the interplanar spacing.
