Abstract

In this work, WO3 films have been grown using spray pyrolysis of ammonium tungstate precursor on glass substrates. The obtained WO3 films have been subjected to sulfurization under vacuum at 550°C. The structural properties of the obtained films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and scanning electronic microscopy. The results showed that the sulfurized films contained only WS2. The c-axis preferential orientation of the WS2 films has been verified by several means. The deposition technique is simple and less expensive than several recently proposed ones.
