Exploring and fine tuning the properties of one dimensional Bi2S3 nanorods

Mini‐Review: Progress on the Controllable Synthesis of Micro/Nanoscale Bi2S3 Functional Materials

“…The reaction kinetics can be affected by the numbers of initial nucleations through altering the reaction parameters, so as to cause the oriented growth of crystal structure sorts and further influence the properties of materials, such as the size, shape, structure, and purity of these materials. [29] Up to now, typical structures of Bi 2 S 3 (such as nanowires, [30,31] nanorods, [32][33][34][35] nanotubes, [36][37][38] nanobelts, [39] nanowhiskers, [40] nanoflowers, [41][42][43] snowflakelike, [44] and urchin-like nanospheres [45] ) have been successfully gained via the hydrothermal, [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] solvothermal, [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] ionic liquid-assisted, [73][74]…”

1D/2D Rod-sheet Shape Bi2S3 Photocatalyst for Photocatalytic Reduction Cr(VI) under Visible Light

“…Do et al [19] prepared Bi2S3 nanowires with diameters of 60-80 nm and lengths of more than 1 μm using a simple hydrothermal synthesis technique and investigated the lattice dynamics and micro-Raman scattering of Bi2S3, as well as the photocatalytic treatment of hexavalent chromium-containing wastewater. Arumugam et al [20] prepared Bi2S3 nanorods via the refluxing method using bismuth nitrate, thiourea, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as reactants, and the performance of Bi2S3 for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was investigated. The experimental results showed that reaction time and temperature were the important factors controlling the morphology of Bi2S3, and the high aspect ratio of the nanorods realized the optical blue shift phenomenon.…”

“…Jia et al [23] utilized a CTAB-assisted hydrothermal synthesis route to obtain 3D Bi2S3 for photocatalytic degradation of RhB. However, for the above-mentioned methods for synthesizing Bi2S3, complex and expensive equipment is generally required, or additional surfactants, ligands, or toxic organic solvents are needed [20][21][22][23][24][25][26], which are not environmentally friendly. Furthermore, most studies have focused on a single morphology of Bi2S3, and the research on the 1D/2D Bi2S3 is relatively limited, indicating the need for further exploration.…”
