Abstract

Copper sulfide nanostructures with different morphology have been developed using wet chemical route. The product so obtained have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) technique. Effect of reaction medium on the morphology of the obtained samples has been studied in detail. We hereby demonstrate that while the reaction medium used has no impact on the phase of the prepared sample, however it plays an important role in deciding the morphology. CuS nanoparticles, nanoflower and nanoflakes like structure have been prepared under optimized condition using facile method in small period of time.
