“…The 1D structure generally consists of an elongated chalcogen shell with a metal core . The well-known NWs, NRBs, and NBs of TMTC compounds are TiS 3 , − NbSe 3 , − TaSe 3 , TaTe 3 , HfTe 3 , , ZrTe 3 , , and others . Apart from the TMTCs, many M–X combinations have also been achieved in the NW form, including MX (e.g., MoTe, WTe) and M 6 X 6 (e.g., Mo 6 S 6 , − Mo 6 Se 6 , Mo 6 Te 6 , W 6 Te 6 ), mono and multi MC alloys (e.g., MoS x Se 1– x , Mo x W 1– x S, AgSeTe, and CoSeTe), chalcogenide-cluster-based semiconducting NTs, and hybrid metal organic chalcogenides .…”
