Abstract
Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) is a chalcogenide semiconductor with a relatively narrow energy band gap that is promising for use in solar cells and photodetectors. This paper presents a highly efficient microwave synthesis of Bi2S3 submicrometric structures using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a viscosity modification agent. The chemical composition, morphology, crystal structure, and optical properties of the prepared materials were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The use of PVA in Bi2S3 synthesis resulted in a change in material morphology from microrods to nanosheets and a slight increase in the energy band gap from 1.34 eV to 1.43 eV. The Bi2S3 nanosheets were examined as photosensitive materials for the detection of visible light. High ON/OFF ratios of 66, 44, and 15 and large specific detectivities of 1.12 × 1011, 7.68 × 1010, and 6.43 × 1010 Jones were achieved under blue (468 nm, 0.52 μW cm−2), green (517 nm, 0.95 μW cm−2), and red (628 nm, 0.13 μW cm−2) light illuminations, respectively. The photosensitive properties of Bi2S3 nanosheets were remarkable compared to that of many other photodetectors based on Bi2S3 micro- and nanostructures.
