General Description
With a relatively small band gap (1.1 eV) compared to other group VI TMDCs, single or few-layer MoTe2 is a promising candidate in a range of applications, including ambipolar transistors. Due to its low band-gap, it is also of interest in optoelectronic technologies that span the visible to near-infrared range.
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.

Molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) powder product image and single-layer structure.
Applications
MoTe2 nanosheets prepared by chemical exfoliation have a band-gap at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Thus, they are of direct interest in photo-detector devices.
Synthesis
Prepared by CVT, MoTe2 powder with purities in excess of 99.995% has been achieved.
Usage
Molybdenum ditelluride powder can be used with liquid chemical exfoliation to prepare MoTe2 nanosheets and nanoparticles down to few-layer films. MoTe2 powder has a purity in excess of 99.995%, and can be used with CVD deposition to create high quality mono-layer and few-layer films. These are of direct interest in electronic and photoluminescence studies.
