The invention discloses a method for synthesizing the
sulfide of
metal M by carbothermal reaction, wherein M is Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, Ta, Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn, Si, Ge, Pb, Sn, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru, Os, Re, Al, B, Ga, In, Tl, Sc, Y, U, One or more of
lanthanide series and
actinide series. The
metal oxide is uniformly mixed with carbon and
sulfur in a certain proportion, and the mixture is reacted in a high temperature vacuum environment to prepare the
solid sulfide of
metal M. The method starts from metal oxides, the raw materials used are cheap and easy to obtain, the production process is simple, safe and feasible, and the
reaction speed is fast, which provides a new method for
mass production of metal sulfides.
