Abstract

Nanostructured copper sulfide (CuS) and iron (Fe) doped CuS materials were synthesized through facile chemical co-precipitation route by using ammonia as a capping agent. Evaluations of the structural, morphological, and electrical behavior of the fabricated materials were carried out by employing XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and two probe I–V method. XRD exhibited cubic phase of CuS and later on peak broadening was observed in the samples upon Fe incorporation. Cu–S linkage and presence of other functional groups were figured out through application of FTIR. Furthermore, a boost in electric current has observed across the synthesized samples during the study of I–V characteristics and such behavior can be attributed towards increase of Fe content, temperature, and voltage across the synthesized nanomaterials.
