Abstract

Here, we present different strategies to realize cellulose based nanocomposite thin films by spin coating, having metal sulfides as active component. Two strategies are described, namely to create an interpenetrated network of metal sulfide nanoparticles in a cellulose based thin film as well as to prepare sandwich type structures where the metal sulfides are deposited in between the cellulose layers. In both cases, metal xanthates are used as precursors which are either added to the spin coating solution or to deposit these onto the cellulose thin films by spin coating. After a heating step, the xanthates decompose, accompanied by the formation of volatile by-products and metal sulfides in or on a cellulose based thin film are formed.
