Abstract
Single-crystalline Bi 2S 3 nanocrystals with urchinlike and rod-like morphologies have been successfully synthesized using Bi 2O 3, HCl, Na 2S 2O 3 and ethylene glycol (EG) by a simple and fast microwave heating method. Both urchinlike and rod-like Bi 2S 3 nanostructures could be formed under microwave heating at 190 °C for 30 s. Urchin-like Bi 2S 3 nanostructures were prepared using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or in the absence of any surfactant. However, Bi 2S 3 nanorods were obtained in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra.
