Abstract

Bismuth sulphide is a direct band gap material with Eg ~1.3eV Attracts high interest in thermo electronics investigation. Elegant Bi2S3 Nanostructure was grown by precipitation method using different surfactants. Nanocrystals were synthesized using Bismuth nitrate, Manganese acetate, Sodium Sulphide, with different Surfactant like Ammonium Bromide, Urea, and Sodium dodecyl sulfate. Nano flowers were obtained in the presence of Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) while Nano rods have been observed in presence of Ammonium Bromide. we also report the growth of [Fe]xBi2S3 (x=1,2 & 5%) nanocrystals prepared by same technique The structure was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Optical property studied by Ultra Violet Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) absorption Spectra. It is expected that the present research may offer useful guidelines to the design and application of Bi2S3 Nanostructures. The determination of magnetic properties was also carried out by Gouy balance method.
