Preparation and morphology control of rod-like nanocrystalline tin sulfides via a simple ethanol themal route

摘要

Rod-like nanocrystaline tin sulfides with different compositions and phases were obtained via simple ethanol thermal reactions between tin chlorides and thioacetamide at relatively low temperature (100 deg C for 10 h). It is found that solvents, reaction temperatures, and trace water in the system were important factors in obtaining one-dimensional nanocrystalline tin sulfides. The reaction mechanism has also been investigated.
