Copper iron sulfide (CuFeS2) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a 300 W cyclic microwave radiation, exposing onto ethylene glycol containing Cu(CH3COO)2, FeCl3· 6H2O or FeCl2· 4H2O and L-cysteine biomolecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM),...
