Cubic AgSbS 2 nanostructured flowers of nanorods were successfully synthesized by microwave-assisted refluxing of AgNO 3 , Sb(CH 3 COO) 3 , and L-cysteine (C 3 H 7 NO 2 S) dissolved in ethylene glycol at the pH of 4, characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron microscopy (EM). The 1.89 eV direct energy gap was determined by UV-visible absorption, including two 688 and 857 nm emission wavelengths by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A possible formation mechanism of AgSbS 2 nanostructured flowers was also proposed according to the experimental results. © 2013 Narongrit Tipcompor et al.
