Abstract

Single-crystal selenium nanowires were successfully synthesized for the first time by a convenient solution-mediated transformation of polycrystalline powder, and characterized by SEM, XRD, TEM and HRTEM.

Spontaneous Transformation of Stabilizer‐Depleted Binary Semiconductor Nanoparticles into Selenium and Tellurium Nanowires

“…1F), which was taken by focusing the electron beam along the [210] zone axis, reveals the highly crystalline nature of the NWs. [36] The diffraction spots were indexed as the trigonal phase of Se (space group: P3 1 21) with the longitudinal axis along the [001] direction. [28,43] The fringe spacing measured from the HRTEM image (Fig.…”

Photothermally Assisted Solution‐Phase Synthesis of Microscale Tubes, Rods, Shuttles, and an Urchin‐Like Assembly of Single‐Crystalline Trigonal Selenium

“…[1] Considerable effort has been devoted to generating selenium nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, and nanowire networks by employing techniques such as laser ablation, [2] sonochemical approaches, [3] solution-mediated transformations, [4] refluxing, [5] hydrothermal methods, [6] CVD, [7] and biomoleculeassisted methods. [8] Recently, a great deal of attention has been focused on the synthesis of tubular selenium.…”

Single-crystalline PbCrO4 nanorods: Room temperature, surfactant free synthesis, characterization and optical property

“…Based on the above experimental results and analyses, we suppose that the formation of PbCrO 4 nanorods at room temperature can be possibly expressed as a homogenous nucleation and solution growth process, which is similar to the former hydrothermal synthetic method in synthesis of 1D nanostructures [34,35]. Firstly, the PbCrO 4 nuclei are formed via the reaction between Pb 2+ and CrO 4 2À in the aqueous solution system.…”
