Facile Sulfurization under Ambient Condition with Na2S to Fabricate Nanostructured Copper Sulfide.

ABSTRACT: The sulfurization reaction was investigated as a promising fabrication method for preparing metal sulfide nanomaterials. Traditional sulfurization processes generally require high vacuum systems, high reaction temperatures, and toxic chemicals, utilizing complicated procedures with poor composition and morphology controllability. Herein, a facile method is reported for synthesizing nanostructured copper sulfide using a sulfurization reaction with Na2S at room temperature under non-vacuum conditions. Moreover, we demonstrate that the morphology, composition, and optical properties of nanostructured copper sulfides could be controlled by the Na2S solution concentration and the reaction time. Nanostructured copper sulfides were synthesized in nanospheres, nanoplates, and nanoplate-based compl
