A biomolecule-assisted simple technique has been developed for the spontaneous ordering of the Bi2S3 nanorods into snowflakelike superstructures in high yield under microwave-hydrothermal conditions. In this method, glutathione (GSH) is used as both an assembling agent and a sulfur source.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), (4)(4), 531-533 (2005-01-18)
Lysozyme, a protein, has been found to be a new morphology-directing agent and a simple and mild bio-molecule assisted method has been proposed for the synthesis of single-crystal bismuth sulfide and oxide nanowires.

Uniform single-crystalline bismuth sulfide nanowires were prepared via a convenient solvothermal route under mixed-solvent condition. The nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry and UV-vis spectrophotometer.
