Abstract

A facile chemical conversion method has been demonstrated to prepare various metal sulfide hollow microspheres. The present strategy utilizes the large difference in solubility between ZnS and other metal sulfides (Ag2S, PbS, CuS, Cu2S, Bi2S3, and Sb2S3) for the effective transformation and shows mild growth conditions and good reproducibility. The morphology, structure, and composition of the yielded hollow nanostructures have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction measurements. The optical properties of the metal sulfide hollow microspheres have been systematically investigated by absorption, micro-Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that these metal sulfide hollow microspheres possess good optical quality with tunable band gaps and luminescence properties, which indicate their broad potential applications. This simple chemical conversion technique can be further extended to the synthesis of other semiconductors with various morphologies.
