Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been widely studied for various applications such as future electronic materials and catalysts. Among them, WSe2 has especially attracted the attention due to its p-type semiconductor property, compared to n-type semiconductor of MoS2. However, large scale synthesis of WSe2 film has not been widely studied because the suitable precursor is not commercially available. Sodium salt of [WSe4]2- was synthesized by the reaction of W(CO)6 with Na2Se4. Sodium cation could be easily exchanged with tetraphenyl phosphonium (Ph4P+), cetyltrimethyl ammonium (cta+), and tetraethyl ammonium (Et4N+) cations. We have studied thermal decomposition of (Cat+)2[WSe4] complexes, resulting in the formation of WSe2 by TG-MS. Nanoflakes of WSe2 were synthesized by solvo-thermal decomposition of (Cat+)2[WSe4] with capping ligand. There is no need for a external reducing agent during the preparation of WSe2 from (Cat+)2[WSe4] due to the internal redox reaction between W and Se.
