Nano-Bismuth-Sulfide for Advanced Optoelectronics

Bi2S3is a semiconductor with rational band gap around near-IR and visible range, its nanostructures (or nano-Bi2S3) have attracted great attention due to promising performances in optoelectronic materials devices. An increasing number of reports point the potential such support optical applications, as photodetectors, solar cells photocatalysts. With aim providing comprehensive basis for exploiting full Bi2S3 on optoelectronics, we review current progress their controlled fabrication, trends reported (from theoretical calculations experimental observations) electrical properties response, emerging applications.
