Abstract

[C₆₀]Fullerene nanowhiskers/NiS2 nanocomposites were prepared by a reaction of NiS₂ nanoparticles and C₆₀ nanowhiskers. The C₆₀ nanowhiskers (FNWs) were synthesized by a liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method using solvent solutions, such as benzene and toluene saturated with C₆₀ powder and isopropyl alcohol. The NiS₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by a reaction of NiCl₂·H₂O and Na₂S₂O₃·5H₂O in deionized water under microwave irradiation. The C₆₀ anowhiskers/NiS₂ nanocomposites were calcined in an electric furnace at 700 °C for 2 h. The C₆₀ nanowhiskers/NiS₂ nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The C₆₀ nanowhiskers/NiS₂ nanocomposites were evaluated as a photocatalyst by UV-visible specrophotometry in the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue and brilliant green, under ultraviolet light at 365 nm.
