Solution-based synthesis and purification of zinc tin phosphide nanowires.

Zn-doped p-type gallium phosphide nanowire photocathodes from a surfactant-free solution synthesis.

Gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowire photocathodes synthesized using a surfactant-free solution-liquid-solid (SLS) method were investigated for their photoelectrochemical evolution of hydrogen. Zinc as a p-type dopant was introduced into the nanowires during synthesis to optimize the photocathode's response. Investigation of the electrical properties of Zn-doped GaP nanowires confirmed their p-type...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanowires Zinc Oxide with Different Temperatures

Single-crystalline branched zinc phosphide nanostructures: synthesis, properties, and optoelectronic devices.

Hierarchical tree-shaped nanostructures, nanobelts, and nanowires of Zn3P2 were synthesized in a thermal assisted laser ablation process. All nanostructures are tetragonal phased Zn3P2 with excellent crystallinity and are free from an oxidization layer according to electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses. Optical measurement revealed a strong absorption from the ultraviolet to near-i...

Synthesis and characterization of single-crystalline zinc tin oxide nanowires

Crystalline zinc tin oxide (ZTO; zinc oxide with heavy tin doping of 33 at.%) nanowires were first synthesized using the electrodeposition and heat treatment method based on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane, which has an average diameter of about 60 nm. According to the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) results, the synthesized ZTO nanowires are highly ordered and have...

Solution-phase synthesis of single-crystalline iron phosphide nanorods/nanowires.

A solution-phase route for the preparation of single-crystalline iron phosphide nanorods and nanowires is reported. We have shown that the mixture of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and trioctylphosphine (TOP), which are commonly used as the solvents for semiconductor nanocrystal synthesis, is not entirely inert. In the current process, TOP, serving as phosphor source, reacts with Fe precursors ...
