Abstract
This paper describes an ethylene glycol EGassisted approach to the ultralong Sb2S3 nanowires formed by a simple hydrothermal reaction between SbCl3 and Na2S in the presence of distilled water Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies indicate that these Sb2S3 nanowires possess a diameter around 200 nm and length up to 100 μm Highresolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction studies reveal that each Sb2S3 nanowire is a singlecrystal along the 001 direction The possible formation mechanism of the nanowires was discussed The effects of volume ratio of ethylene glycol/water on the morphology of Sb2S3 nanowires were also investigated Diffuse reflectance spectrum result shows that the final products have an apparent blue shift by quantum size effect
