Orthorhombic phase bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanobelts were prepared via liquid-solid phase reaction method. Bi2S3 nanobelts were observed to be preferentially oriented along the (101) plane. Direct band gap (2.95 eV) and characteristic wavelength (λmax = 342 nm) were extracted through UV-visible spe...
