X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Fr-IR) techniques were used to characterize the samples. The resulting microspheres were dense, with average diameters between 0.79 and 1.40 mu m, had smooth surfaces and were constructed of ReS2 sheet-like structures with 4.5-9.8 wt % of structural amorphous carbon, which is retained as a textural stabilizer after calcination at 800 degrees C. The synthesis was repeated using isopropanol and cyclohexane, whose products were agglomerated grains and botryoidal quasi-spherical particles, respectively. A possible formation mechanism of ReS2/C microspheres was preliminarily presented, in order to clarify the mechanistic differences between the rhenium carbonyl and other transition metal carbonyls used in similar syntheses.
