General description

Antimony(III) sulfide (Sb2S3) is a semiconductor material known for its unique optical and electronic properties, including a direct bandgap of approximately 1.7 eV, making it suitable for photovoltaic applications. Its high absorption coefficient enables effective light harvesting, which is advantageous in solar cells and photodetectors. Additionally, Sb2S3 exhibits promising thermoelectric properties, making it a candidate for energy conversion applications.

Application

  • Thermal decomposition of tris(O-ethyldithiocarbonato)-antimony(III): A single-source precursor for antimony sulfide thin films, important for developing materials with specific optical properties (Eensalu et al., 2022).
  • Antimony sulfide as a light absorber in highly ordered, coaxial nanocylindrical arrays: Discusses the integration of antimony sulfide into photovoltaic devices, significant for chemists interested in renewable energy solutions (Wu et al., 2015).
  • Syntheses and characterization of one-dimensional alkali metal antimony (III) thiostannates: Explores novel antimony(III) sulfide compounds for potential use in electronic and photonic devices (Yohannan and Vidyasagar, 2015).
  • Antimony (III) speciation in hydrosulfide solutions: Provides insights into the geochemical behavior of antimony sulfide complexes, important for environmental chemists and academia studying heavy metal cycling (Olsen et al., 2019).

We report the first observation of piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity in individual Sb(2)S(3) nanowires embedded in anodic alumina templates. Switching spectroscopy-piezoresponse force microscopy (SS-PFM) measurements demonstrate that individual, c-axis-oriented Sb(2)S(3) nanowires exhibit ferroelectric as well as piezoelectric switching behavior.
