In accordance with various embodiments, there are nanostructured materials including WSnanostructures and composites of WSnanostructures and other materials and methods for synthesizing nanostructured materials. The method can include providing a plurality of precursor materials, wherein each of the plurality of precursor materials can include a tungsten reactant. The method can also include flowing, for a reaction time, a substantially continuous stream of carbon disulfide (CS) vapor in a carrier gas over the plurality of precursor materials at a temperature in the range of about 700&#xb0; C. to about 1000 C, wherein the reaction time is sufficient to permit the tungsten reactant to react with carbon disulfide to form a plurality of tungsten disulfide (WS) nanostructures.
