Synthesis of Bi₂S₃ thin films based on pulse-plating bismuth nanocrystallines and its photoelectrochemical properties.

ABSTRACT: The solubility of Bi³⁺ in aqueous solution is an important factor that limits the fabrication of high-quality Bi₂S₃ thin films. In order to find a low-cost method to manufacture high-quality Bi₂S₃ thin films, we are reporting the preparation of the Bi₂S₃ thin films based on pulse-plating method in this paper for the first time. The nano-bismuth particles were obtained by electroplating on fluorine-doped SnO₂ (FTO)-coated conducting glass substrates with saturated bismuth potassium citrate solution as the electroplating bath, and then it was put into a muffle furnace to oxidize. Finally, the thin films depositing on FTO glass substrates were put into the thioacetamide solution for vulcanization. In the e
