The reaction of MoO 3 and S at temperatures higher than 300 °C in an argon atmosphere provides a convenient and effective method for the synthesis of MoS 2 nanocrystalline substances. MoS 2 nanotubes and fullerene‐like nanoparticles have been obtained by the reaction at 850 °C under well‐controlled conditions. The influences of reaction temperature and duration were carefully investigated in this paper. All of the nanostructures were characterized by Xray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). A stepwise reaction model and rolling mechanism were proposed based on the experimental results.
