Abstract

Removal of the carbon template from WS₂-coated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCN) composites, produced WS₂ nanotubes with intriguing microstructures. TEM characterisation shows that the intermediate phases of amorphous WO_3−x-WS₂ nanostructures, support the previously proposed growth model for WS₂ nanotubes on MWCNs.
