A general route to nanostructured bismuth chalcogenides

Abstract

In this paper we describe a method for the synthesis of V/VI nanomaterials containing bismuth by a conventional “wet chemistry” technique. The reaction of bismuth acetate with the corresponding elemental chalcogen under reflux conditions in octylamine result in pure phases of the respective bismuth chalcogenide. A range of morphologies are reported which demonstrate a relationship between the crystal form and the morphology of the nanostructure.
