Natural rhenium sulfide clusters formed under conditions of laser desorption-ionization.
Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on rhenium sulfide clusters, which are crucial for oil refining, as only a few have been previously studied under laser desorption-ionization conditions.
- Natural rhenium sulfide samples from a volcanic area in Russia were analyzed using laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry to identify and characterize these clusters.
- The study found over 60 rhenium sulfide clusters, including heterometallic types, and revealed new insights into the stability and formation patterns of these clusters, highlighting clusters with 7 to 10 rhenium atoms.
The design and formation of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures with different two-dimensional (2D) materials provide an opportunity to create materials with extraordinary physical properties tailored toward specific applications. Mechanical exfoliation of natural vdW materials has been recognized as an effective way for producing high-quality ultrathin vdW heterostructures. Abramovite is one of such naturally occurring vdW materials, where the superlattice is composed of alternating PbBiS and SnInS 2D material lattices.
