What is Inorganic Fullerene Tungsten Disulfide Nanotube?

Inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube is a new material that has good mechanical properties, electronic transportation properties, together with excellent friction performance. So it has broad application value in many important fields such as electrode materials, hydrogen storage materials, catalysts and so on.

Inorganic Fullerene (IF) tungsten disulfide nanotube has the structure of concentric tube layers, which is the same as that of C60 and carbon nanotube. Such a unique structure determines the excellent mechanical, friction and electronic transportation properties of inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube, making it a versatile material.

The following are the properties of inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube.

1. Mechanical properties of inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube.

Multi-walled inorganic fullerenes tungsten disulfide nanotube has the same mechanical properties as chemical bond strength. Tension tests show that such a nanotube exhibits excellent elastic behavior, with Young's modulus exceeding 130 Gpa and accounting for 50% of the total. The tension of the nanotube is about 7 times higher than that of stainless steel.

2. Electronic transportation properties of inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube.

Researchers have successfully made a phototransistor base on single tungsten disulfide nanotube. This kind of phototransistor can detect the visible light sensitivity. In addition, it has the higher carrier mobility and carrier density, compared with the other ones. Such a phototransistor can be widely used in medical electronic equipment, household appliances and so on.

3. Friction performance of inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube.

Inorganic fullerene tungsten disulfide nanotube has complete closed shells that can decrease the unsaturated dangling bonds to a minimum, which determines their chemical inertness, effectively avoiding the metal atoms on the bonded specimen surfaces as well as promoting the formation of abrasive particles with themselves or debris. The nanotube has high thermal stability and high load capacity, which is caused by the addition of tungsten.
