Softly, softly : VS 2 nanotubes (see electron micrograph, layer separation 1.6 nm) are prepared from vanadium oxide nanotubes by a “chimie douce” process. The VS 2 nanotubes are remarkably stable; the corresponding bulk compound is unstable unless it is intercalated with alkali‐metal atoms. The nanotubes reversibly intercalate copper with high capacity and thus could serve as precursors for conductors or contacts in electronic circuitry.
