Technical Description
The invention relates to a method of generating diverse phases of copper sulphide nanostructures using ambient electrospray deposition (ESD) of molecular sulphur droplets onto metallic copper surfaces. By adjusting deposition time under atmospheric conditions, the process controllably transitions the material from semiconducting Cu2S nanopyramids to metallic Cu1.8S platelets without needing high temperatures.
