Nanocrystalline CoS2 and NiS2 have been successfully prepared through a sol
ventothermal synthetic route at 130 degrees C. The final products are chara
cterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron micros
copy (TEM). The sulfur-to-metal ratio of the as-prepared products is ca. 1.
99-1 and 1.98-1 for CoS2 and NiS2, respectively. TEM shows that with the ch
ange of solvents, the morphologies of the as-prepared sulfides can be contr
olled. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
