Optical switches based on BiS nanowires synthesized by molten salt solvent method
Abstract
Bismuth sulfide (Bi 2S 3) nanowires have been synthesized for the first time by a one-step, low temperature, ambient pressure, environment friendly molten salt solvent method. The photoelectric response of Bi 2S 3 nanowire films has been characterized in the visible light of different wavelengths and ultraviolet, and the results indicated its great potential applications as optical sensors/switches and optoelectronic nanodevices with a response time in ∼ms range.
