Materials: Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2), sublimed sulfur (S), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), ethanol, acetone, chloroform and n-hexane were purchased from Beijing Chemical reagent Corporation, China. Copper foils were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Beijing Co., Ltd. N,N,N,N -tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) was purchased from J&K Scientific Ltd. Tetrahydrofuran was pretreated under reflux with calcium hydride to remove the extra water. Copper foils were pretreated by sonicating in 1 M HCl, acetone and ethanol, sequentially for 15 min, and used immediately for growing GD nanowires after dried under a flow of argon. The other reagents were used as received. The anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates with a porous diameter of 200 nm, a thickness of 60 μm, and a diameter of 13 mm were purchased from Whatman Co. The AAO templates were sonicated with H2O, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, n-hexane in sequence. The nanowires were synthesized using a homemade electrolytic cell. Synthesis of CuS Nanowires CuS nanowires are synthesized using the same method of CuS nanoshells but there is no GD nanowires in the AAO templates existed. 0.05 M CuCl2 and 0.17 M S dispersed in 10 ml DMSO were heated to 130 C and then transferred to the homemade electrolytic cell. The CuS nanowires were then grown around from the bottom of the AAO template to the up of it at a current density of 4 ma/cm 2 with the copper foil as a working electrode and a platinum wire as the counter electrode.
