Cuprous sulfide (Cu2-xS) crystals in different stoichiometries were synthesized by hydro- and solvo-thermal methods at 125°C using Na2S2O3 as sulfur source in pure water, mixed solvents of ethylenediamine (en) and water, and pure en, respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and selected area electronic diffraction (SAED). Owing to different sulfur sources, crystal structures a...
