A facile L-cysteine-assisted route for the preparation of capsule-like Cu
2 SnS3 crystals with high uniformity and yield was reported. The as-synthesised samples were characterised by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectrum and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The Cu2 SnS3 nanocapsules were 200–500 nm in width and up to 2 μm in length. Results showed that the structure of the nanocapsules was cubic phase which had stoichiometric composition, good crystallinity and capsule-like morphology. Importantly, the effects of solvents on the structure and morphology of the product were investigated. A possible mechanism for the growth of capsule-like Cu2 SnS3 nanostructures was also proposed.
