In this paper, a carbon-confined SMCS@C nanosheet was prepared via an in-situ C/S co-deposition process using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system. Carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) and sulfur powder, Ar/H 2 Sodium chloride powder is used as the carbon/sulfur source, carrier gas, and substrate, respectively. The typical synthesis process is illustrated in Figure 1a: the precursor decomposes into a highly active C/S-based mixed plasma, which co-deposits on the NaCl surface to form carbon-confined SMCS composite nanosheets.

Equipment Introduction

A PECVD system uses radio frequency to ionize gases containing the atoms that constitute the thin film, thereby generating a localized plasma. The plasma is highly chemically reactive and readily undergoes reactions, leading to the deposition of the desired thin film on the substrate. This technique is suitable for the preparation of two-dimensional materials, graphene growth, TMDs material synthesis, thin-film fabrication, and the growth of nanostructures, among other applications.
