We present the first colloidal synthesis of highly uniform single-crystalline Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 nanowires (NWs) with a mean diameter of ∼9 nm and tunable lengths in the range of 0.15-2 μm in the presence of foreign metal ions (Al 3+ ). The Al 3+ ions not only control the growth of NWs, but also achieve species transformation, i.e. , from Bi 2 S 3 to Bi 19 S 27 Br 3 , and are not present in the resulting NWs. This colloidal chemistry approach can be expanded to prepare a family of single-crystalline Bi 19 S 27 (Br 3- x  ,I  x  ) alloyed NWs with controlled compositions (0 ≤ x ≤ 3). Interestingly, these alloyed NWs show an unusual composition-independent band gap of ∼0.82 eV, and theoretical calculations indicate that this phenomenon comes from the very minor contributions of the halogens to the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum. The photodetectors made of Bi 19 S 27 (Br 3- x  ,I  x  ) alloyed NWs show a pronounced photoresponse with high stability and reproducibility, which makes the NWs potentially useful candidates in optoelectronic devices.
