Shape and stoichiometry control of bismuth selenide nanocrystals in colloidal synthesis

“…Liu et al reported growth of Bi 2 Se 3 nanobelts synthesized through a co-reduction method under ultrasonic irradiation, 11 Yan et al had synthesized various Bi 2 Se 3 nanocrystals with various morphologies using CVD method, 12 Kadel et al expressed nano-ake like Bi 2 Se 3 synthesized by hydrothermal method. 13 Though there are some reports on colloidal synthesis of Bi 2 Se 3 , 14,15 to date, to the best of author's knowledge, there has been no reports on the synthesis of Bi-Se nanocrystals with tunable shape and composition by a simple temperature-controlled colloidal way.…”
