Designing novel morphologies of <scp>l</scp>-cysteine surface capped 2D covellite (CuS) nanoplates to study the effect of CuS morphologies on dye degradation rate under visible light

Abstract

Novel CuS@<sc>l</sc>-Cys NPs are designed by a hydrothermal route. The effects of synthetic parameters on the morphologies of CuS@<sc>l</sc>-Cys NPs were investigated. CuS@<sc>l</sc>-Cys NPs exhibit an enhanced dye degradation rate under visible light.
