Description

Cuprous Sulfide (Cu2S) occurs in nature as the mineral and has very different two-dimensional lattice structures, along with excellent electro-catalysis and high conductivity. Recently published article has shown that nanocomposites incorporated with Cu2S nanoflowers can be used for skin tumor therapy and wound healing.
