Preparation of Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> and Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>–Ni Nanosheets via Solution Based Processes

Abstract

An easy and convenient preparation of nanometer-thick sheets of Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> and Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>–Ni from solution processed molecularly thin sheets of Ni-thiolates is described. Both the Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> and Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>–Ni possessed sheet-like morphologies and displayed room temperature ferromagnetic characteristics. The ferromagnetic nature of these samples was also confirmed by MFM studies, and AFM/TEM investigations substantiated the sheet-like morphology of the samples
