Abstract

In the study of fullerene-like structures, some of the more interesting systems are the inorganic cages, made of MoS₂ (usually named inorganic fullerenes), which have many important potential applications as lubricant and catalysts. In the present work, we report calculations for structural models of closed cage of inorganic fullerene-like structures for MoS₂ system. Three cage shapes were found to be the most stable: triangular pyramid, octahedron and dodecahedron. High resolution TEM images of MoS₂ cages structures were calculated to be compared with experimental data. Some examples of triangular pyramid and polyhedron in experimental MoS₂ samples are presented.
