Microscale hexagonal plates of single-crystalline TiS2 with a border length of about 7.8 μm and thickness of about 156 nm were grown on Ti substrate by a facile surface-assisted chemical-vapor-transport approach at 550 °C. The TiS2 plates (petals) and Ti particles (flower center) constituted flower-like patterns when the reaction temperature was at 650−750 °C. The surface of the Ti foils was completely converted into TiS2 microplates with a thickness of 100−400 nm when the reaction temperature reached 850 °C. The growth mechanism was briefly discussed. Preliminary field-emission experiments using the samples obtained at 550, 650, and 850 °C as cold electron cathodes showed that the materials have a notable emission current, and their turn-on fields, defined as the electric field required to produce a current density of 10 μA/cm2, are 11.5, 16.3, and 19.5 V/μm, respectively, suggesting their potential application in electron emission devices.
