Abstract

A facile disproportion reaction method is successfully developed to synthesize metal sulfide (cadmium sulfide, CdS; silver sulfide, Ag 2S; and mercury sulfide, HgS) under room temperature and ambient pressure. Various morphology of metal sulfide is obtained under role of PVP as an assisted-reagent for crystal growth. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrum are used to characterize the obtained product. The disproportion reaction mechanism happened in this experiment is suggested in the end of this paper.
