Low price, high purity 2D molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) powder and crystals
Suitable for the creation of single or few-layer sheets via mechanical or liquid exfoliation
| | | | |
Molybdenum Ditelluride MoTe2 (α-MoTe2), CAS number 12058-20-7, is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of around 1.0 eV in bulk crystal or powder form, and a direct band-gap of about 1.1 eV in monolayer films. MoTe2 has a characteristic layered structure direct band-gap that extends to near infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Combined with the advantages of wet chemical exfoliation, MoTe2 has great potential for electronics - especially in photovoltaic technologies.

Powder & Crystal forms of MoTe2
Single or few-layer MoTe2 nanosheets can be created via liquid exfoliation under ambient conditions. Exfoliated nanosheets can be be fabricated into layered films and deposited onto a range of different substrates. MoTe2 nanosheets can be used in high-performance sodium-ion batteries, as a electrocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), and in photovoltaic solar cells.
MoTe2 is also semi-metallic, with bulk MoTe2 exhibiting superconductivity at a transition temperature of 0.10 K.

Structure of Molybdenum Ditelluride
Molybdenum Ditelluride MoTe2 (α-MoTe2) is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of around 1.0 eV in bulk crystal or powder form, and a direct band-gap of about 1.1 eV in monolayer films. Like and other 2D materials, MoTe2 has a layered structure. It is composed of hexagonal sheets of molybdenum atoms - these are located between two hexagonal planes of tellurium atoms. Individual sheets are held together by weak Van der Waals forces, and are stacked with 2H symmetry.
