Novel and facile route to the synthesisBismuth Sulfide (Bi2S3) Nanostructures by Ultrasonic Method

This study reports on the synthesis of Bi2S3 nanostructures via an ultrasonic method by employingthioglycollic acid (TGA) as a solvent, capping agent and sulfur source. The as-synthesized products were characterizedby X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The band gap of nanoparticles calculated 2.37eV that shows a blue shift relative to the bulk material. The effects of time and power of ultrasonic irradiation werestudied.
