Abstract
The purpose of this research is to obtain a facile method for bismuth nanorod synthesis. Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate [Bi(NO3)3•5H2O] was used as a precursor and rod-like formation was found at 80 °C in the presence of hydrazine hydrate and sodium oleate. We also found here that incubation time plays an important role in shape regulation and the presence of CTAB obstructs rod formation. The nanostructures were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) for crystalline structures examination. Moreover, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was performed to determine morphology of nanostructures, whereas size distribution was analyzed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA).
