SYNTHESIS OF MERCURY SULFIDE NANOPARTICLES VIA SIMPLE MICROWAVE APPROACH IN THE PRESENCE OF NOVEL SULFURING AGENT

چکیده مقاله

Mercury sulfide, HgS, crystals with different morphologies and particle sizes were obtained via a simple microwave reaction by a new precursor. Novelty of this work is application of a new sulfuring precursure That can play the role of capping agent. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of precursor concentration, type of solvent, microwave time, and power on the particle size and morphology has been investigated. Our experimental results showed that type of solvent played key role in the final size of HgS. Mercury sulfide nanostructures with different size have been successfully prepared.
