Nanoscience and nanotechnology impact our lives in many ways, from electronic and
photonic devices to biosensors. They also hold the promise of tackling the renewable …

Due to a variety of outstanding physical and chemical properties such as wide band gap,
low resistance, good catalysis, high surface-to-volume ratio, high sensitivity and strong …

Bi2Se3 attracts intensive attention as a typical thermoelectric material and a promising
topological insulator material. However, previously reported Bi2Se3 nanostructures are …

Copper (Cu) nanowires (NWs) are inexpensive conducting nanomaterials intensively
explored for transparent conducting electrodes and other applications. However, the …

We report a green synthesis of Cu2O nanowires and nanotubes in aqueous solution by
reducing Cu2+ to Cu+ with glucose or fructosevia Fehling's reaction. The screw dislocation …

This Perspective describes the phonon transport engineering with one-dimensional defects,
ie, dislocations, from both theoretical and experimental points of view. The classical models …

We report the synthesis of CdS and CdSe nanowires (NWs) and nanoribbons (NRs) with
gold catalysts by H2-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Nanopods and nanocones were …

Stacking faults are an important class of crystal defects commonly observed in
nanostructures of close packed crystal structures. They can bridge the transition between …

Tailoring the shape of complex nanostructures requires control of the growth process. In this
work, we report on the selective growth of nanostructured tin oxide on gallium oxide …

Micro-and nano-structures of ZnO were synthesized by the vapor–solid method at 600, 700,
and 800° C in atmospheres of Ar and air, at atmospheric pressure. The structural …
