US Patent Issued to City University of Hong Kong on March 31 for "Thermal stable, one-dimensional hexagonal-phase vanadium sulfide nanowires and methods for preparing the same" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,590,384, issued on March 31, was assigned to City University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, Hong Kong).

"Thermal stable, one-dimensional hexagonal-phase vanadium sulfide nanowires and methods for preparing the same" was invented by Hua Zhang (Hong Kong, Hong Kong) and Yi Ren (Hong Kong, Hong Kong).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present invention provides a general salt-assisted chemical vapor deposition (SA-CVD) synthetic method for the high-yield preparation of 1D hexagonal-phase MxV6S8(M=K, Rb, Cs) and KxV6SySe8-y nanowires. The resulting nanowires exhibit typical metallic properties, which can be used as a good van der Waals contact for...
