Tungsten disulfide (WS2) has attracted great attention for use in optoelectronics due to its suitable bandgap and adjustable properties. However, the structure and photoelectric properties of bulk WS(2)are not well understood. The first-principles method is applied herein to study the structural stability and electronic and optical properties of WS2. Two phases, viz. hexagonal and rhombohedral, are considered. The results reveal that the two bulk WS(2)phases are thermodynamically and dynamically stable based on the enthalpy of formation and phonon dispersion. The structural stability of WS(2)is attributed to the S-W-S sandwich structure. The calculated bandgap of hexagonal and rhombohedral WS(2)is 1.552 eV and 1.488 eV, respectively, indicating that WS(2)is semiconducting. The calculated optical properties show that WS(2)exhibits excellent adsorption capacity for ultraviolet light, whether in the hexagonal or rhombohedral structure.
