Hydrothermal synthesis of double sheaf-like Sb2S3 using copolymer as a crystal splitting agent

Facile synthesis of symmetric bundle-like Sb2S3micron-structures and their application in lithium-ion battery anodes

“…To overcome this challenge, ongoing efforts have focused on controlling the morphology of the materials. To date, 1D nanorodlike, 20,21 nanotube-like 22 and nanowire-like, 23,24 3D sheaf-like, 25 flower-like 26 and straw-tied-like 27 antimony sulfides have been successfully fabricated and showed enhanced performances.…”

Synthesis of Coral‐Like, Straw‐Tied‐Like, and Flower‐Like Antimony Sulfides by a Facile Wet‐Chemical Method

“…This value is blue shift relative to 1.28 eV energy gap of Bi 2 S 3 [23]. Generally, different morphologies and crystalline degrees can play a role in the properties of products, such as energy gap and photoluminescence (PL) [6,[24][25][26][27][28]. The value of the band-gap energy for Sb 2 S 3 nanorods is close to the optimum value for the photovoltaic conversion, solar energy converters, and optical nanodevices [15].…”

“…It has a potential application for solar cells and thermoelectric and optoelectronic devices [1,2]. A number of processes were used to synthesize antimony sulfide with different morphologies: single-crystal Sb 2 S 3 nanotubes via EDTA-assisted hydrothermal route [1], nanocrystalline Sb 2 S 3 by microwave-assisted synthesis [2], Sb 2 S 3 peanutshaped superstructures [3], rod-like Sb 2 S 3 dendrites [4] and Sb 2 S 3 nanorods [5] by hydrothermal reaction, double sheaflike Sb 2 S 3 by copolymer-assisted hydrothermal synthesis [6], Sb 2 S 3 nanowires [7] and Sb 2 S 3 nanoribbons [8] by solvothermal route, Sb 2 S 3 nanowires by PEG-assisted solvothermal process [9], and orthorhombic Sb 2 S 3 twin flowers in the solutions containing CTAB by a cyclic microwave radiation [10]. Crystal structures, crystalline degree, different phases, purities, defects, and others can play a role in the properties of materials, such as strength and corrosion resistance, including electrical and thermal conductivities.…”

The Photocatalytic Application of Semiconductor Stibnite Nanostructure Synthesized via a Simple Microwave-Assisted Approach in Propylene Glycol for Degradation of Dye Pollutants and its Optical Property

“…It shows that the infinite chains of stoichiometric composition of atoms run normal to the axis. The binding force of the chain in b direction is greatly weaker than the one along the chain ( a - and c -axis) [ 29 , 39 ]. The cleavage can easily occur in the (010) plane—caused by the binding between these chains—and is considerably weaker than that within the chains.…”

“…The cleavage can easily occur in the (010) plane—caused by the binding between these chains—and is considerably weaker than that within the chains. Thus, the growth direction is preferential along the [001] direction [ 39 ]. The crystal splitting is also associated with fast crystal growth, due to the super saturation that exceeds a certain critical value [ 26 , 39 , 40 ].…”
