title: D-penicillamine assisted hydrothermal synthesis of Bi2S3 nanoflowers and their electrochemical application.
abstract: Single crystalline flower-like Bi2S3 nanostructures were successfully synthesized via a simple, facile and green hydrothermal method, with the assistance of D-penicillamine. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and found their morphologies mainly depend on the ratios of Bi(3+) to D-penicillamine, as well as the reaction temperature and time. And the possible growth mechanism has been discussed in some detail. In addition, the as-prepared Bi2S3 nanoflowers show good hydrogen storage ability. This strategy can be potentially expanded to prepare other metal chalcogenides materials.
