Abstract

The cubic β-In₂S₃ hollow nanospheres was fabricated via two-step solvothermal approaches using InCl₃·4H₂O, CS₂, and thioacetamide (C₂H₅NS) as the starting materials. The as-prepared cubic β-In₂S₃ possessed hollow nanosphere structures, whose outward diameters and shells are -75 and 20 nm, respectively. The samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, SAED, and HRTEM. The optical properties of the cubic β-In₂S₃ hollow nanospheres were also investigated. UV-vis (280 nm) and PL (367 nm) spectra indicate that there exists obvious blue shift compared with the In₂S₃ bulk materials.
