“…As previously reported for other sheaf-like crystals, including Bi 2 S 3 [16][17][18], -FeO(OH) [19], BaWO 4 [20,21], lanthanum orthovanadates [22], Sb 2 S 3 and Sb 2 Se 3 [23,24], CuO [25,26], CeO 2 [27] and Tb-doped CePO 4 [28], it has been widely accepted that the formation mechanism of sheaf-like morphologies is because of crystal splitting. Crystal splitting possibly occurs because of solution oversaturation conditions are used, or the presence of additives which may influence the crystal growth process leading to crystal splitting.…”

Antimony oxychloride Sb 8 O 11 Cl 2 (H 2 O) 6 products with various morphologies including sheaf-like, rhombic-plate, oval leaf-like and quasi-wafer have been successfully synthesized via a mild and facile solution route at room temperature. The morphologies and structures of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A possible formation mechanism of these structures is proposed according to the experimental results and analysis.antimony oxychloride, sheaf-like, quasi-wafer, crystal splitting, shape evolution Citation:Zhou J, Zhao H W, Li L D, et al.

“…Although various methods have been developed for the fabrication of 1-D Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures including nanorods, nanowires, and nanoribbons, investigation of nanotube synthesis is quite rare [21,22]. Only in 2002, Bi 2 S 3 nanotubes were obtained for the fi rst time by Ye's group through the conventional evaporation method using nanometer-sized Bi 2 S 3 particles as starting materials [18].…”

Synthesis of tubular nanomaterials has become a prolific area of investigation due to their wide range of applications. A facile solution-based method has been designed to fabricate uniform Bi 2 S 3 nanotubes with average size of 20 nm × 160 nm using only bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O) and sulfur powder (S) as the reactants and octadecylamine (ODA) as the solvent. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) experiments were employed to characterize the resulting Bi 2 S 3 nanotubes and the classic rolling mechanism was applied to explain their formation process.

“…In conclusion of this chapter I will summarize the results obtained in this study [112,113,115,[117][118][119][120][121][122][123] This growing attention has not seen a parallel progress in understanding some key physical materials properties. Band gap tunability via the quantum size effect is a nanocrystal property that can be exploited to develop unique photovoltaic cell architectures for a more efficient solar light conversion.…”
