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 …

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

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 …

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 …

The solution synthesis of ternary metal oxides is difficult due to the competing hydrolysis of
metal ions. There are reports of hydro-/solvothermal growth of nanoparticles, but one …
