Surfactant free fabrication of copper sulphide (CuS–Cu2S) nanoparticles from single source precursor for photocatalytic applications

A simple, ethylene glycol chemical reduction method was employed to synthesize CuS–Cu2S nanoparticles from single source copper thiourea complex for removal of persistent organic dyes. Fabricated CuS–Cu2S nanoparticles were characterized by powder XRD (PXRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ED...
