Controllable synthesis of metallic Bi from commercial Bi2O3via one-pot solvothermal reduction method
摘要
Abstract
Metallic bismuth crystal is one important and interesting semimetal that has attracted great attention owing to its unique thermal and electrical properties. Herein
we report a facile

as the starting material to produce high-purity metallic Bi with tunable morphologies on large scale. It is found that all alcohols are capable of reducing Bi

to Bi and the reducibility of glycol is proved to be the strongest. The highest purity of the resultant Bi is calculated to be 99.74%. What's more
the morphology of final Bi particles is controllable by adding various types and concentrations of additives. As a consequence
our work lays the root for the large scale solvothermal production of high-purity Bi particles with various regular morphologies.
