Abstract: A novel fabrication method of Cu7S4 nano-crystals by supported liquid membrane (SLM) system was investigated. SLM consists of CHCl3 as solvent, o-phenanthroline as a mobile carrier and polymer membrane as supported template. The results indicated that Cu7S4 which has hexagonal structure with cell constant of a=15.475Aand c=13.356Acan be prepared at room temperature with 0.2mol/L CuCl2 and 0.2mol/L Na2S as reactants. The average size of Cu7S4 is about 7nm. In addition, the forming mechanism and optical properties of Cu7S4 were discussed.
