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 ReS2 interlayer distance being between
0.5 to 0.7 nm. Each ReS2 layer consists of a layer of rhenium atoms
sandwiched between two layers of sulfur atoms.
