| Description | 1) developed a new synthesis route for WS2 IF nanospheres. 2) developed a new synthesis technique for WS2 nanorattles. 3) unexpectedly found the catalytic properties of WS2 nanorattles. |
| Exploitation Route | WS2 IF spheres and WS2 rattles can be used by others to make various impact resistant composites. They also can be as new types of catalysts for hydrogen generation. |
