Abstract
Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) is a specific thermoelectric material that thermoelectric properties are anisotropic. One dimensional Bi2S3 structure would improve the conductivity and Seebeck coefficient because of the anisotropic electron transmission and phonon scattering. The Bi2S3 nanostructures with different morphologies are prepared by a modified composite molten salt method. The Bi2S3 nanowires with lengths up to 20 μm and high crystallization are obtained. The thermoelectric properties of the synthesized samples with different morphologies are comparatively investigated. We find that the power factor of the film made from the Bi2S3 nanowires is much larger than that of the film made by the Bi2S3 nanosheets or nanowires mixed with sheets due to its lower resistivity and larger Seebeck coefficient. The low resistivity of the Bi2S3 nanowires film is a result of the high carrier concentration and high carrier mobility due to the high orientation degree and better crystallization. The Bi2S3 nanowires orienta...
