Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview of tungsten disulfide
Tungsten disulfide (WS₂) is a layered transition metal disulfide (TMDs) composed of the elements tungsten (W) and sulfur (S) with the chemical formula WS₂, which belongs to the hexagonal crystal structure. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, tungsten disulfide has a wide range of applications in materials science, energy storage, catalysts and lubrication. Its structure is similar to graphite, consisting of a layer of tungsten atoms sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms, connected into a layered stack by van der Waals forces. This structure gives tungsten disulfide excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, allowing it to remain functional under extreme conditions. Compared with Molybdenum’s sulfide MoS₂, tungsten disulfide has higher thermal stability and oxidation resistance, which makes it advantageous for applications in high-temperature environments.
The discovery of tungsten disulfide dates back to the 19th century, but it was not until the late 20th century, with the development of nanotechnology, that the potential of its nanoforms (such as nanoparticles, nanosheets, and nanotubes) was fully explored. In nature, tungsten disulfide is mainly found in ore form, such as associated with wolframite or scheelite, but it is usually prepared industrially by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or thermal decomposition from the reaction of tungsten powder with sulfide. The semiconductor properties of tungsten disulfide make it excellent in electronic devices, and its bandgap varies with the number of layers (about 2.1 eV for a single layer and 1.3 eV for multiple layers), which provides flexibility in optoelectronic device design. In addition, its low coefficient of friction and high resistance to extreme pressure make it ideal for solid lubricants in a wide range of applications in the aerospace and mechanical industries.
Globally, the research and industrialization of tungsten disulfide is accelerating. Tungsten disulfide is not only a functional material, but also reveals its potential in the fields of catalysis, energy storage and thermopower.
1.2 Purpose and significance of the study
The purpose of tungsten disulfide research is to explore its physical, chemical and application properties in order to optimize its properties and expand its application range in high-tech fields. With the increasing global demand for high-efficiency energy, environmentally friendly materials and intelligent manufacturing, tungsten disulfide has become a research hotspot due to its versatility. For example, its potential as a solid lubricant can reduce mechanical wear and extend equipment life; Its semiconductor properties can be used to develop new types of photodetectors and sensors; Its catalytic performance is of great significance in green chemistry. The ultimate goal of this research is to achieve the optimal performance solution by manipulating the structure, morphology and doping state of tungsten disulfide, and provide theoretical support and technical guidance for industrial applications.
The significance of tungsten disulfide research is reflected in many levels. First of all, in the energy field, tungsten disulfide can be used as an electrode material for lithium-ion batteries or supercapacitors, and its high specific surface area and fast electron transport ability significantly improve energy storage efficiency. Secondly, in the environmental field, the photocatalytic performance of tungsten disulfide can be used for hydrogen production or pollutant degradation by water splitting, helping to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. In addition, its stability in high-temperature and high-pressure environments makes it a candidate for aerospace materials, such as improved wear resistance when compounded with tungsten copper. The study has also revealed the potential of tungsten disulfide in biomedicine, for example as a drug delivery vehicle or imaging agent.
From an economic point of view, the industrialization of tungsten disulfide can promote the development of the tungsten market. According to tungsten price data, its high value-added applications will bring significant benefits to related companies. From a scientific point of view, the research of tungsten disulfide has deepened people’s understanding of two-dimensional materials and promoted the cutting-edge progress of tungsten in the academic field.
