1. Nano WS2 is mainly used as a petroleum catalyst: it can be used as a hydrodesulfurization catalyst, and it can also be used as a catalyst for polymerization, reforming, hydration, dehydration and hydroxylation. It has good cracking performance and stable and reliable catalytic activity. Long service life and other characteristics are very popular among petroleum refineries;
2. In the preparation technology of inorganic functional materials, nano WS2 is a new type of high-efficiency catalyst. Due to the new compound that can form a sandwich structure, nano WS2 can be made into a monolayer two-dimensional material, and can be restacked as needed to have a very large The new granular material of the "floor room structure" of the inner space, and intercalation materials can be added during the re-stacking process to make it a catalyst or sensitive display and superconducting material. Its huge internal surface area is easy to be mixed with accelerators. Become a new type of high-efficiency catalyst. The Nagoya Industrial Research Institute of Japan discovered that nano-WS2 has a great catalytic effect in the conversion of CO2 to CO, which will promote the development of carbon cycle technology and pave the way for improving the trend of global warming;
3. WS2 can be used as solid lubricants, dry film lubricants, self-lubricating composite materials: Nano WS2 is the best solid lubricant, with a friction coefficient of 0.01～0.03, a compressive strength of up to 2100 MPa, and acid and alkali corrosion resistance. Good load resistance, non-toxic and harmless, wide use temperature, long lubrication life, low friction factor and other advantages. In recent years, the ultra-low friction and wear shown by the solid lubricant hollow fullerene nano WS2 has attracted people’s attention. Significantly reduce the friction factor and increase the life of the mold;
4. Nano WS2 is a very important additive for manufacturing high-performance lubricants. Studies have found that adding a proper amount of WS2 nanoparticles to lubricating oil can greatly improve the lubricating performance of lubricating oil, reduce friction factor by 20%-50%, and increase oil film strength by 30%-40%. Its lubricating performance is far better than nano-MoS2 . Under the same conditions, the lubricating performance of the base oil added with nano WS2 is significantly better than that of the base oil added with conventional particles, and it has good dispersion stability. The results of the study show that the lubricants added with nano-particles combine the advantages of fluid lubrication and solid lubrication, which is expected to achieve lubrication from room temperature to high temperature (over 800 ℃). Therefore, nano WS2 can be used as an additive to synthesize a new lubricating system, which has broad application prospects;
5. It can also be used as anode of fuel cell, anode of organic electrolyte rechargeable battery, anode of sulfur dioxide oxidized in strong acid and anode of sensor, etc.;
6. Used to make nano-ceramic composite materials;
7. It is a good semiconductor material.
