Abstract
Copper sulfide (CuS) nanotubes assembled with nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by microwave-assisted solvothermal method at 80 °C using Cu(OH) 2 nanowires in the solvent of ethylene glycol. Cu(OH) 2 nanowires act as both the precursor and template for the preparation of CuS nanotubes assembled with nanoparticles. Cu(OH) 2 nanowires are prepared by adding an aqueous solution containing CuCl 2 into an alkaline solution at room temperature and by ultrasonication for 30 min. This method has the advantages of the simplicity and low cost. The samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The method reported herein may be extended to the synthesis of nanotubes of other copper-containing compounds.
