Synthesis of CuS with different morphologies by refluxing method: Nanopaticles in clusters and nanoflakes in spongelike clusters

Clusters of CuS nanoparticles and sponge-like structures of CuS nanoflakes were synthesized by refluxing method at a temperature of 130 °C for 1.5-6 h using copper chloride (CuCl 2·4H 2O) and thioacetamide (CH 3CSNH 2) as starting materials in deionized water to form [Cu(CH 3CSNH 2) 2]Cl 2 complexes...

Description
Summary:Clusters of CuS nanoparticles and sponge-like structures of CuS nanoflakes were synthesized by refluxing method at a temperature of 130 °C for 1.5-6 h using copper chloride (CuCl 2·4H 2O) and thioacetamide (CH 3CSNH 2) as starting materials in deionized water to form [Cu(CH 3CSNH 2) 2]Cl 2 complexes, specified by thermogravimetric, CHNS/O and Fourier transform inferred analyses. Phase and morphology were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
