ABSTRACT:
A rhenium (IV) sulphide (ReS2) nanotube material and a method of preparation of the rhenium (IV) sulphide (ReS2) nanotube material. The rhenium (IV) sulphide (ReS2) nanotube material comprises hollow cylinders of concentric rhenium (IV) sulphide layers, the ReS2interlayer distance being between 0.5 to 0.7 nm. Each ReS2layer consists of a layer of rhenium atoms sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms.
