By using Bi(S2CNEt2)3 as single-source precursor, Bi2S3 nanoflowers and nanorods have been obtained via a solvothermal treatment. The effect of water, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol as reaction medium on the structure and shape of Bi2S3 nanosized materials was investigated, and Bi2S3 nanoflowers and nanorods were characterized by SEM, TEM and XRD.
