Abstract

Ultra-fast one-put microwave assisted strategy is introduced for the synthesis of heterostructured CuCo2S4/CuCo2O4 nanoparticles into a domestic microwave oven with the power of 900 W for 20 minutes. Thiourea as an organic agent was used as a sulfur source and driving agent to lead the solvent free combustion reaction to obtain this earth-abundant and low-cost mixed chalcogenide/oxide product. The structural and morphological specifications were studied in details using powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion of x-ray spectrometry (EDX). The employed strategy relatively clarifies a new facile, rapid and eco-friendly route to produce heterostructured nanocomposites for different functional purposes. The electrochemical properties of the prepared product as an electrode material in energy storage applications was studied in details.
