Characterization of Bi2S3 with different morphologies synthesized using microwave radiation

Bi2S3 with different morphologies (nanoparticles, nanorods and nanotubes) was synthesized using bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O) and two kinds of sulfur sources (CH3CSNH2 and NH2CSNH2) in different solvents (water, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol) via a microwave radiation method at...

Description
Summary:Bi2S3 with different morphologies (nanoparticles, nanorods and nanotubes) was synthesized using bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O) and two kinds of sulfur sources (CH3CSNH2 and NH2CSNH2) in different solvents (water, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol) via a microwave radiation method at 180 W for 20 min. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that all of the products are orthorhombic Bi2S3 phase of nanoparticles, nanorods and nanotubes, influenced by the sulfur sources and solvents. Formation mechanisms of the products with different morphologies are also proposed. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
