Popis: Bismuth-based semiconductors are promising candidates for applications in photocatalysis, photodetection, solar cells, etc. BiSI in particular is attracting attention. It has anisotropic optoelectronic properties and comprises relatively abundant elements. However, the synthesis of this ternary compound presents several challenges. Here, we delve into the underlying chemical processes that lead to the crystal growth of BiSI nanorods and optimize a solution-based synthesis. The mechanism of formation of BiSI nanocrystals is the self-sacrifice of Bi
