LABORATORY PROCUREMENT SUPPORT
For grade selection, particle-size confirmation, documentation support or custom specification review, contact our technical sales team.
How does the -160 mesh particle size influence NbSe₂ powder performance as a conductive lubricant in high-temperature vacuum environments?
The -160 mesh specification indicates a fine powder (particles typically <100 µm) that provides high surface area for effective dispersion and lubrication in composite formulations. With a density of 6.3 g/cm³ and a melting point above 1,300 °C, NbSe₂ retains its layered, self-lubricating structure under extreme vacuum and high-temperature conditions, meeting the requirements for conductive lubricant applications stated in the product scope.
Is the 99.9% purity grade of NbSe₂ powder sufficient for fundamental superconductivity research applications?
Yes, the 99.9% purity (metals basis) minimizes impurity-related scattering and phase suppression, making it suitable for studying intrinsic superconducting properties. The product is explicitly intended for superconductivity and conductive self-lubricating materials research. The confirmed hP6 crystal structure and CAS number 12034-77-4 further establish the compound identity. For experiments requiring higher purity, custom grades can be requested via the technical sales team.
What batch-specific documentation supports the quality and safe handling of this NbSe₂ powder?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available upon request for each batch, providing confirmation of 99.9% purity, -160 mesh specification, crystal structure (hP6), and other parameters. The SDS details handling precautions for selenium-containing materials, while the COA supplies quantitative lot-specific data to ensure reproducibility in research workflows.
This Niobium Selenide (NbSe2) powder, 99.9% purity and -160 mesh, features a layered hP6 crystal structure with a melting point above 1300°C and density of 6.3 g/cm³, designed for superconductivity and conductive self-lubricating materials research in vacuum and high-temperature environments.
Positive
- High purity and fine mesh: 99.9% purity and -160 mesh specification ensure consistent stoichiometry and particle size for reproducible experimental results in sensitive applications.
- High thermal stability and layered structure: Melting point above 1300°C and layered hP6 crystal structure support reliable performance in high-temperature and vacuum environments, suitable for superconductivity and self-lubricating studies.
Trade-offs
- Application-specific environment required: Intended for vacuum and high-temperature environments; performance under ambient or humid conditions is not specified, limiting broader use without additional characterization.
- Fine powder handling considerations: The -160 mesh powder form requires careful handling to avoid dust generation and contamination, particularly in high-vacuum systems where particle outgassing or particulate contamination could affect experimental integrity.
