چکیده
We report the synthesis of several unconventional 0-, 1- and 2-dimensional copper sulfide nanostrucutures by the chemical vapor deposition method. The key factor for morphology and structure control of a variety of copper sulfide products is the tuning of deposition and growth temperature to fit for the surface energy barriers and promote different growth directions. At a high growth temperature (480 °C) that provides enough thermal energy, a 0-D octahedral copper sulfide single crystal structure was synthesized. At a slightly lower growth temperature (460 °C), a new 1-D copper sulfide nanorod structure with a nanocrystal head was discovered for the first time. At a much lower growth temperature (150 °C), 2-D copper sulfide nanoflakes with a single crystal hexagonal structure were obtained. These novel structural varieties of copper sulfide can lead to discovering more unconventional material structures and growth mechanisms of other transitional metal chalcogenides, and may allow for new copper sulfide based devices and applications.

We demonstrate here the utilization of ultrasonication during template-assisted electrodeposition to synthesize high quality one-dimensional nanostructures. Copper sulfide nanorods were synthesized “sonoelectrochemically” to achieve single-crystal nanorods with predominantly single stoichiometric composition (1.0:1.0 Cu:S). Structural characterization by HRTEM, SAD, EDS reveals that nanorods ha...

Dendritic nanocrystals of copper selenide were fabricated in situ for the first time by using alcohol as the solvent. Cu2 xSe films composed of hierarchically ordered dendritic nanostructures were prepared on Cu substrates at a rather moderate temperature of 190–200 C for just 1–3 h, while bunchy CuSe nanostructures could be further constructed above the Cu2 xSe dendrites by prolonging the reac...

Hierarchical and well-defined cobalt sulfide with flower-like, cube-like, ball-like, and surface hollowed-out nanostructures were successfully prepared by a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis approach, employing Co(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O as a cobalt precursor and thiourea as a sulfur source. The morphologies of these structures can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the molar ratio of reacta...
