Synthesis of copper-molybdenum-selenium (CuxMo6Se8) without binary compounds as intermediates: a study using superlattices to kinetically control a solid-state reaction
L. Fister, David C. Johnson, Robert H. Brown
The formation of Cu x Mo 6 Se 8 by reaction of superlattice composites is explored as a function of elemental layer thicknesses making up the repeat unit while maintaining stoichiometry near the Cu x Mo 6 Se 8 phase field. Layer thickness was found …
The formation of Cu x Mo 6 Se 8 by reaction of superlattice composites is explored as a function of elemental layer thicknesses making up the repeat unit while maintaining stoichiometry near the Cu x Mo 6 Se 8 phase field. Layer thickness was found to control the reaction pathway of the ternary composites. The critical layer thicknesses below which one avoids interfacial nucleation of binary compounds obtained previously for binary systems were useful guides for predicting ternary system behavior. For elemental layers thicker than the binary critical layer thicknesses, the ternary composites were found to initially form MoSe 2 . The MoSe 2 subsequently reacted with the rest of the composite to form the desired ternary compound on further heating
