Abstract

Metal sulfide nanoparticles are important due to their wide range of applications in biomedicine, (opto)electronics, energy and the environment as well as magnetic devices. The synthesis of a particular phase, size, and/or shape of nanoparticles is highly attractive due to the need to make tailor devices for specific application. In this chapter, the progress made in our laboratory on preparing metal sulfide nanoparticles from dithiocarbamate complexes containing the pyrrole moiety as single-source precursors is reviewed. This chapter is focused on the preparation and characterization of cobalt sulfide, nickel sulfide, copper sulfide, mercury sulfide, and tin sulfide nanoparticles. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles for the degradation of dyes is detailed.
