Abstract
A convenient hydrothermal route is proposed for synthesizing mineral Ag3CuS2 nanorods. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated the formation of Ag3CuS2, and elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) revealed the stoichiometric relation between Ag, Cu, and S. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images demonstrated that the final product consisted of nanorods with diameters from 30 to 150 nm and lengths from 200 nm to 1 μm. A possible formation mechanism of Ag3CuS2 nanorods was proposed.
