Abstract EN
CuS nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal route using copper nitrate and sodium thiosulphate as copper and sulfur precursors.
Investigations were done to probe the effect of cationic surfactant, namely, Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the morphology of the products.
A further study has been done to know the effect of reaction time on the morphology of CuS nanostructures.
The FE-SEM results showed that the CuS products synthesized in CTAB were hexagonal plates and the samples prepared without CTAB were nanoplate like morphology of sizes about 40–80 nm.
Presence of nanoplate-like structure of size about 40–80 nm was observed for the sample without CTAB.
The synthesized CuS nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FE-SEM, DRS-UV-Vis spectroscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy.
A possible growth mechanism has been elucidated for the growth of CuS nanostructures.
