Ternary Copper Tungsten Sulfide (Cu₂WS₄) Nanoparticles Obtained through a Solvothermal Approach: A Bi-Functional Electrocatalyst for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER).

ABSTRACT: In this work, Cu₂WS₄ nanoparticles have been synthesized via a solvothermal decomposition approach using a heterobimetallic single source precursor, WCu₂S₄(PPh₃)₃. The single source precursor, WCu₂S₄(PPh₃)₃, has been characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, while Cu₂WS₄ nanoparticles have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) for which Rietveld refinement has been performed to authenticate the lattice structure of the decomposed product, Cu₂WS₄. Furthermore, FESEM and EDAX analyses have been performed to assess the morphology and composition of Cu₂WS₄. An electrochemical study in acidic as w
