Abstract:
One‐dimensional (1D) titanium trisulfide (TiS 3 ) nanobelt bundles up to 4 cm in length have been successfully synthesized through an easy and common chemical vapor transition (CVT) process. The as‐synthesized samples were characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All microscopic observations indicated a belt‐like morphology. Powder XRD patterns showed that TiS 3 crystallized in the monoclinic system with a = 4.958(1) Å, b = 3.393(1) Å, c = 8.793(3) Å and β = 97.27(5)°. TEM images revealed a nanostructure with an interplanar spacing of 0.87 nm. The ED pattern and HRTEM images confirmed the [014] elongated direction and the [001] dilated direction of the bundle of TiS 3 nanobelts. Its tensile strength (TS) was further examined with a universal testing machine with 20 N as the biggest strength: the maximum stress and the break strain were 111.027 MPa and 97.1 %, respectively. Because the TiS 3 nanocrystals are up to 4 cm in length and flexible enough to be cut into small pieces, they should be used directly in electrical and electronic applications. Also, these nanomaterials are synthesized and prepared by a simple one‐step process. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
