Abstract: | This paper presents for the first time the nanocrystalline, semiconducting ferroelectrics antimony sulfoiodide (SbSI) grown in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It was prepared sonochemically using elemental Sb, S and I in the presence of methanol under ultrasonic irradiation (35 kHz, 2.6 W/cm2) at 323 K for 3 h. The CNTs filled with SbSI were characterized by using techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and optical diffuse reflection spectroscopy. These investigations exhibit that the SbSI filling the CNTs is single crystalline in nature and in the form of nanowires. It has indirect forbidden energy band gap EgIf = 1.871(1) eV. |
