Nnanotubes and nanospheres of CuSCN have been
prepared by simple reactions between CuO, NH2OH•HCl
and KSCN in the presence of
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and
gelatin respectively at 80oC. The
products were characterized by X-ray powder
diffraction, transmission electron microscopy
and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The
direct transition band gaps were estimated to
be 3.82 and 3.91 eV respectively according to
the results of optical measurements of
nanotubes and nanospheres. |
