With this scope, a binary transition metal sulfide (CoS) is prepared via one-step hydrothermal synthesis. Hexagonal phase of CoS with space group of P6₃/mmc(194) is confirmed by XRD analysis. Additional cubic Co₃S₄ phase in the prepared sample originates the mixed valence state of Co (Co²⁺ and Co³⁺) is affirmed from XPS analysis. Morphological features are visualized using HRSEM images that shows nanoflower shaped star-anise structure.
