- Porous films of Bi2O3/Bi2S3 were obtained at gas/liquid interface in a short time.
- By contacting acidic Bi(NO3)3 solution with vapors from NH3 and (NH4)2S solutions.
- Hydrolysis, sulfurization and self-assembly occurred at/near the acidic solution surface.
- Adjusted film thickness/composition by concentration, vapor source and contact time.
- The photocurrent density on the prepared Bi2O3/Bi2S3 films reached to 1.8Â mAÂ cmâ2.
Porous thin films of Bi2O3/Bi2S3 nanocomposite semiconductors were prepared rapidly at gas/liquid interface for the first time by contacting an acidic Bi(NO3)3 solution with vapors from ammonia water and ammonium sulfide solution. Hydrolysis of Bi3+ into Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) and their partial sulfurization into Bi2S3 occurred at/near the solution surface upon contacting the vapors of NH3 and H2S, respectively. Based on photoelectrochemical performances, the conditions were optimized for preparation of Bi2O3/Bi2S3 thin films by interfacial reactions and self-assembly of the in situ produced nanocomposites, including concentrations of Bi(NO3)3 and HNO3, vapor sources, contact manners and contact times. The porous thin film of Bi2O3/Bi2S3 prepared under optimized conditions showed better photoelectrochemical performance than the respective thin films of Bi2O3 and Bi2S3 and their some other composites.
Porous thin films of Bi2O3/Bi2S3 nanocomposites were prepared rapidly at gas/liquid interface with high photoelectrochemical performances.
