Abstract

In this paper, copper sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized by two-phase colloidal method with different reaction temperatures (140, 160, 180 and 200°C). The structural, morphological and optical properties of prepared CuS were analyzed by the X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and UV-VIS Spectrophotometer. The XRD peaks refer to the covellite copper sulfide with hexagonal structure. FESEM showed the rod formation at lower temperatures (140 and 160°C), whereas higher temperatures (180 and 200°C) form nanocrystals within spheres structures. UV-VIS showed that CuS nanoparticles have two absorption peaks, one at UV-VIS region and the second at NIR region and its energy gap decrease with increasing of reaction temperature.
