Abstract—Water-soluble Sb₂S₃ sub-microspheres were synthesized by aqueous–phase arrested precipitation
using mercaptoacetic acid as capping agent and thioacetamide (TAA) as sulfur source. The effects of the exper-
imental conditions, such as temperature, sulfur source, reactants concentration and reaction time, on the shapes,
structures and properties of the products were studied. FESEM, TEM showed the products have uniform size
distribution. In addition, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis) and photoluminescence (PL) showed
the resulting products have excellent optical properties.

Keywords: water-soluble Sb₂S₃, synthesis, aqueous-phase
