Two solvent grinding sonication method for the synthesis of two-dimensional tungsten disulphide flakes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 4;51(18):3770-3. doi: 10.1039/c4cc08399g.

Abstract

Two-dimensional tungsten disulphide flakes are developed via a two solvent grinding assisted liquid phase exfoliation method. Our investigations show the distinct advantages of this approach that include reduced residues of the solvent used, high yield and creating relatively thin flakes suitable for electronic, optical, catalytic and energy storage applications.
