Abstract

This paper details the synthesis of bismuth wires from the reaction of Bi1.7V8O16 and ammonia gas at 450 °C. The Bi wires are extruded from polycrystalline pellets of Bi1.7V 8O16 and can grow to be almost a centimeter in length with diameters between 10 nm and 20 μm. X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and differential thermal analysis measurements confirm that the extruded wires are metallic bismuth.
