Self-assembly of SnS2 submicron-sized flakes to form microspheres under template-free hydrothermal conditions

Facile Synthesis of SnS2 Nanostructures with Different Morphologies for High-Performance Supercapacitor Applications

“…Although the precise mechanism for the growth of the nanostructures is unclear and requires a detailed investigation, these 3D assembly structures have been reported elsewhere. 25,26 A separate synthesis experiment with different solvents, such as acetone and water, was carried out to confirm the role of the solvent in the formation of the morphology. A 2D sheetlike morphology was obtained when acetone was used instead of ethanol (Figures 1d−f and S1b).…”

Novel hierarchical CdS crystals by an amino acid mediated hydrothermal process

“…Morphology-controlled synthesis of nano-/micro-crystals of semiconductor materials have attracted great interest because their optoelectronic properties are closely related to their sizes and shapes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Compared to mono-morphological structures, hierarchical structures may show unique properties by combining the features of micrometer-and nanometer-scaled building blocks in one crystal [9][10][11].…”

Preparation of CuIn1−xGaxS2 (x=0.5) flowers consisting of nanoflakes via a solvothermal method

“…In recent years, the synthesis and properties characterization of nano-and submicron-sized structures have been attracting an increasing interest owing to their theoretical and practical interests [1]. Especially, semiconductor nanocrystals have been studied extensively as their excellent physical and chemical properties [2] and their potential applications on photo-electronic transition devices [3,4], and their optical properties are highly dependent on size and morphology [5].…”
