Abstract

In this contribution, CuS nanostructures of various morphologies have been synthesized by manipulating time and choosing different copper sources via a mild hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM analysis methods. Studies showed that after a definite time depending on the chosen copper source, the obtained pure CuS nanocrystals show a tendency towards self assembly and creating plate, rode, and wire like nano and submicro structures.

 

Key words: Nanoparticles, nanostructure, hydrothermal, CTAB.
