Formation of CuS nanotube arrays from CuCl Nanorods through a gas-solid reaction route

Sacrificial template method for the synthesis of CdS nanosponges and their photocatalytic properties

“…This result suggests that vacancies generate at the interface are due to the imbalance of ion transport during sulfurization process. Similar phenomena had been observed in the formation of CuS nanotubes and Co 3 S 4 nanotubes by our research group and Chen et al, respectively [20,21]. It is noteworthy that bulk heteroepitaxy between Cd and CdS is not favored because of the high strain energy at the interface due to relatively large lattice mismatches.…”

Self-sacrificed template method for the synthesis of ZnO-tubular nanostructures:reaction kinetics and pathways

“…Micrometer-scaled hierarchical tubular structures of CuS assembled by nanoflake-built microspheres have been developed using the intermediate complex Cu 3 (TAA) 3 Cl 3 as template [7]. CuS nanotube arrays have been prepared using CuCl nanorod arrays precursors as a sacrificial template [8]. Tubular GaN structure was formed by the thermal decomposition and nitridation of a one-dimensional GaOOH precursor [9].…”

Mild hydrothermal synthesis of hexagonal CuS nanoplates

“…Until now, various CuS nanostructures have been successfully prepared [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], most of which are one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanorods [10], nanowires [11,12], and nanotubes [12,13]. However, plate-like CuS nanostructures are of particular interest because the nanoplates are promising building blocks for nanodevices with controlled crystal orientation by a bottom-up route owing to their anisotropic structures [17,18].…”
