A SIMPLE AND LOW-COST NEW PROCEDURE FOR SYNTHESIS OF NICKEL(II) AND CADMIUM(II) SULFIDES in situ THIOUREA METAL–CHELATION PRECURSOR
Abstract
Nickel(II) and cadmium(II) sulfides are a promising chemical material in various advanced research
areas such as solar cells, supercapacitors, catalysts, and of significant interest for their practical implementations in
up to photonics and electronics. Cadmium and nickel sulfides were synthesized with stoichiometries in aqueous
media at elevated temperature from Ni(NO3)2.6H2O, NiCl2.6H2O, NiSO4.6H2O, CdCl2, Cd(NO3)2.4H2O,
CdSO4.8H2O and thiourea as a sulfur precursor using a direct chemical reaction
