Characterization of Cu3SbS4 microflowers produced by a cyclic microwave radiation

Copper antimony sulfide (Cu3SbS4) crystals were produced from mixtures of different molar ratios of CuCl, SbCl3 and thiourea in 40 and 60 ml ethylene glycol (EG) by a 300 W cyclic microwave radiation (CMR) for different lengths of time. In the present research, tetragonal Cu3SbS4 microflowers, chara...
