Abstract:

The representative member of group VB TMDCs, NbSe2 nanoparticles, have attracted significant attention due to their unique structural and optical properties, which make them promising candidates for various applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. In this report, the author reports for the first time the synthesis of NbSe2 nanoparticles via the sonochemical method at ambient temperature with controlled size, a well defined crystal structure, and desirable optical properties. The investigation of the compositional and structural analysis revealed that the synthesized nanoparticles are well defined, near stoichiometry, with a hexagonal crystal structure belonging to the space group P63mmc. The other morphological and optical characteristics of synthesized nanoparticles studied through Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), UV-VIS NIR spectroscopy, etc. were discussed here.

Keywords: TMDCs Material; NbSe2 Nanoparticles, Sono-Chemical Method, XRD and Optical Properties
