| Abstract Scope |
Chevrel phase compounds with (MxMo6S8: M Ternary metal cataion) formula have been extensively explored as a catalyst material due to the ability of Mo atoms reduced oxidation state. Chevrel Phase with its R-3 symmetry has preferential channels for ion transport. Synthesis of Chevrel phase compound in nano configuration has been a road block for exploration of these material category for exploration of wide spectrum of applications regarding functional nanomaterials. Electrospinning is a facile way to produce nanofibers of Chevrel Phase compounds followed by ultra fast Self-Propagating High Temperature synthesis (SHS) heat-treatment to obtain Chevrel Phase Nanofibers. Nanofiberous material provides high aspect ratio with high surface area makes it excellent candidate for catalyst in hydrodesulfurization and emerging field of battery science as a cathode material for better ion transport. In this study nanofabrication of Chevrel Phase (Cu2Mo6S8) nanofibers with electrospinning and nanoparticles with SHS heat-treatment is provided with complete material characterization. |
