SHAPE CONTROL OF Bi2S3 NANOPARTICLES
Abstract
Bi2S3 nanocrystals with different shapes were synthesized via a simple solventothermal route. Nanorods and nanotubes can be obtained by changing reaction temperature. In the presence of surfactant, hollow nanospheres can be produced. The nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microcopy. The growth mechanisms were discussed.
