Synthesis of Cu3.21Bi4.79S9 bismuth chalcogenide by mechanical alloying
In this research, Cu3.21Bi4.79S9 was synthesized from Cu, Bi and S powders using ball milling. The effects of ball milling duration and the process control agent, i.e. ethanol, on the formation of Cu3.21Bi4.79S9 were investigated. The thermal stability of Cu3.21Bi4.79S9 was also studied using a Diff...

It was observed that the addition of ethanol shows a significant effect on the refinement of the particle size of the milled powder.
