TiS₂ Crystals

TiS₂ Crystals

TiS₂ (Titanium Disulfide) is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with a hexagonal (1T) crystal structure, exhibiting metallic conductivity and electrochemical properties. It has been investigated for applications in energy storage, electronic devices, and 2D material research due to its electrical conductivity, layered structure, and chemical behavior. TiS₂ crystals are synthesized using the Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT) method.
