During the synthesis of CuS nanoparticles, there are two ways like adding CTAB(cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) or adding NH4F(Ammonium Fluoride) along with Copper and Sulphur precursor sources.
What difference does it make? Can we add NH4F instead of CTAB? What is the role of NH4F or CTAB in synthesis of CuS nanoparticles? Is it same or different?
Copper source used :- Copper nitrate trihydrate
Sulphur source used :- Thiourea.
