Abstract:A nanocomposite matrix of covellite–polyvinylpyrrolidone (CuS–PVP) was synthesized through a solution processing method and applied via spin coating onto hydrothermally grown zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. Characterization techniques, including X‐ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, confirmed the successful decoration of chain‐like CuS–PVP polymer composites onto hexagonal ZnO nanorods. The UV‐vis spectroscopy revealed an absorption peak at 372 nm, indicating excitonic absorption of ZnO, and a … Show more
