Electrochemical Synthesis of Copper Sulfide Nanostructure with PAM Hydrogel Template

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flower-like, sphere and lamellar structures of copper sulfide have been prepared by an electrochemical method with PAM hydrogel as template. The unique synthetic method required no multiple growth steps typical of other methods, and just utilized the electric currents to drive the ions to realize the controlling the resultant morphology in the PAM hydrogel system. The structure of product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology of these structures could be controlled by adjusting the content of PAM in hydrogel, and the intension of electric current.
