Solvothemal Synthesis and Characterization of α-MnS Micronsized Architectures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mixed solvent of ethylenediamine (EDA) and ethylene glycol (EG) using MnCl4H2O, and (NH2)2CS as precursors was used to synthesize α-MnS micronsized architectures. Optimal α-MnS crystals were successfully grown from a mixed solvent of EDA:EG with a volume ratio of 1:1, reaction temperature of 140-180 °C and maintained for 6h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to characterize the structure and morphology of the product. The results show that the morphologies of α-MnS are found to be temperature dependent.
