Abstract
Different one-dimensional nickel sulfides, NiS nanorods and Ni9S8 nanorods were synthesized in the presence (Route 1) and absence (Route 2) of gas CO2. X-ray powder diffraction patterns, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images show that the product from Route 1 is NiS nanorods with a diameter of about 50-120nm, while the product from Route 2 is Ni9S8 nanords about 70-200nm in diameter. A molecular-template-like mechanism was proposed for the one-dimensional structures growth. The products were also investigated by Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
