Resumo

We used water as an environmental friendly medium for the synthesis of hexagonal WS2 nanoparticles by the pulsed laser method. The materials collected on substrates were oriented with the 2H-WS2 basal planes parallel to the surface. The use of water, UV lasers, and large WS2 targets prevented the nanoparticles from restructuring into inorganic fullerenes, which were observed in research using hydrocarbon solvents, longer wavelength lasers, and dispersed powder targets. Fairly good dispersion of nanoparticles suggests that large surface areas are available for chemical reactivity.
