چکیده

Here we report the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis of silicon (Si) nanowires. Nanowires are grown by trisilane (Si3H8) decomposition in a high boiling solvent, octacosane (C28H58) or squalane (C30H62), in the presence of either Au or Bi nanocrystals. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a colloidal synthetic route carried out in a solvent at atmospheric pressure that provides crystalline Si nanowires in large quantities.

Gold catalytic Growth of Germanium Nanowires by chemical vapour deposition method

Germanium nanowires (GeNWs) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based on vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism with Au nanoparticles as catalyst and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) as a precursor of germanium. Au catalysts were deposited on silicon wafer as a thin film, firstly by sputtering technique and secondly by submerging the silicon substrates in Au colloidal s...

SiO(2)/Ta(2)O(5) core-shell nanowires and nanotubes.

One-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes have attracted much attention as a result of their unique properties, which can be applied in the fabrication of biomedical sensors, optoelectronic devices, field-effect transistors, and field-emission devices, for example. In particular, one-dimensional nanostructures of metal oxides such as ZnO, SnO2, [3] a-Fe2O3, [4] ...

Growth of In2O3 Nanowires Catalyzed by Cu via a Solid–Liquid–Solid Mechanism

In2O3 nanowires that are 10-50 nm in diameter and several hundred nanometers to micrometers in length have been synthesized by simply annealing Cu-In compound at a relatively low temperature of 550°C. The catalysis of Cu on the growth of In2O3 nanowires is investigated. It is believed that the growth of In2O3 nanowires is via a solid-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism. Moreover, photoluminescence (PL...

A solution-phase approach to Cd3P2 nanowires: synthesis and characterization.

Single-crystalline Cd3P2 nanowires (NWs) have been synthesized via a solution-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism. The lengths of the resulting nanowires can be effectively tuned in the range of 180 nm and 5 μm, and the photodetectors made of the Cd3P2 nanowires exhibited a pronounced photoresponse with high stability and reproducibility.
