Abstract

Flower-like b-In2S3 particles have been successfully synthesized via solvothermal process by using acetylacetone-water solvent mixture. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, reflectance spectra. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of cubic b-In2S3. Microstructural investigation with SEM indicated that the particle size increases with increasing reaction time. The optical band gap determined from reflectance spectra was found to have values within the range of 2.34-2.49 eV.
