“…Currently, Sb2S3 bulk material is proposed to be one of the most promising metal sulfides as an ideal light harvester, owing to its high absorption coefficient (1.8 × 10 5 cm -1 at 450 nm), suitable band gap (Eg, 1.7 -2.2 eV), high refractive index and nontoxic characteristics [5].…”

“…Antimony trisulfide (Sb 2 S 3 ) is industrially important for processes ranging from a semiconductor dopant through batteries to a flame retardant due to its unique properties, including convenient band gap tuning, the capacity for multiple excitations, high absorption coefficient, intrinsic large dipole moment, and solution processability [1][2][3]. Accordingly, a lot of studies have been conducted for preparing Sb 2 S 3 with various morphologies including nanoparticles [4], nanowires [5], nanotube [6], dendrites [7] and etc.…”

Antimony trisulfide (Sb 2 S 3) is industrially important for processes ranging from a semiconductor dopant through batteries to a flame retardant. Approaches for fabricating Sb 2 S 3 nanostructures or thin films are by chemical or physicochemical methods, while there have been no report focused on the biological synthesis of nano Sb 2 S 3. In the present study, we fabricated nano-broccoli-like Sb 2 S 3 using Sb(V) reducing bacteria. Thirty four marine and terrestrial strains are capable of fabricating Sb 2 S 3 after 1-5 days of incubation in different selective media. The nano-broccoli-like bio-Sb 2 S 3 was light sensitive between 400-550 nm, acting as a photo-catalyst with the bandgap energy of 1.84 eV. Moreover, kinetic and mechanism studies demonstrated that a k value of ∼0.27 h −1 with an R 2 = 0.99. The bio-Sb 2 S 3 supplemented system exhibited approximately 18.4 times higher photocatalytic activity for degrading methyl orange (MO) to SO 4 2-, CO 2 and H 2 O compared with that of control system, which had a k value of ∼0.015 h −1 (R 2 = 0.99) under visible light. Bacterial community shift analyses showed that the addition of S or Fe species to the media significantly changed the bacterial communities driven by antimony stress. From this work it appears Clostridia, Bacilli and Gammaproteobacteria from marine sediment are potentially ideal candidates for fabricating bio-Sb 2 S 3 due to their excellent electron transfer capability. Based on the above results, we propose a potential visible light bacterially catalyzed self-purification of both heavy metal and persistent organic contamination polluted coastal waters.

“…However, the optical properties of Sb 2 S 3 quantum dots do also depend on the method of its synthesis [5]. Among these methods, aqueous-phase synthesis has become a potential promising method that can be used widely in the near future due to its simple operation, good repeatability, low cost and low toxicity, relatively easy to use technique in industrial production.…”

Abstract. Taking thioacetamide (TAA) as sulfur source and mercaptoacetic acid as capping agent, water-soluble Sb 2 S 3 quantum dots were synthesized in aqueous-phase with precipitation method. The influence of temperature (65 to 85 qC) and reaction time (3 to 7 h) on morphological characteristics of the products was studied. The as-prepared Sb 2 S 3 quantum dots were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL), which suggested the Sb 2 S 3 quantum dots have uniform size distribution and excellent optical properties. Moreover, a formation mechanism of Sb 2 S 3 quantum dots was also proposed.
