“…9 The chemical composition of the nickel sulde comprises of many crystalline phases with varied stoichiometry ranging from Ni-sufficient to Ni-rich materials, such as NiS, NiS 2 Ni 3 S 2 , Ni 3 S 4 , Ni 7 S 6 , and Ni 9 S 8 . 10 Due to its highly specialized uses, including solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, photocatalytic H 2 production, and supercapacitors, NiS has seen an increase in interest. 11,12 The hexagonal, P63/ mmc high-temperature phase-NiS and the low-temperature phase-NiS are the two potential phases of NiS (rhombohedral, R3m).…”
