Abstract

Novel copper sulfide (CuS) hollow spheres composed of nanoflakes were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by treating copper (II)-thiourea complex from CuSO₄ · 5H₂O and thiourea at 180°C for 24 h. When increasing the reaction temperature, much smaller hexagonal CuS nanoflakes generated from copper (II)-thiourea complex formed and self-assembled into hollow spheres. The products were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction scanning electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. It is found that the reaction temperature and copper (II)-thiourea complex are of importance to form hollow spherical superstructures. A possible mechanism is also discussed.
