Synthesis of mesostructured copper sulfide by cation exchange and liquid-crystal templating
Supermolecular assembly techniques combined with the cation exchange of nanoparticles transforms mesostructured US into mesostructured CuS (see figure). The resulting materials retain the overall integrity of the original mesostructured material after the cation-exchange process.
