A low temperature synthesis of ZnS nanorods

Facile synthesis of luminescent AgInS₂--ZnS solid solution nanorods.

higher photon absorption cross-section, [ 4 ] stronger electric dipoles, [ 5 , 6 ] and effi cient one-dimensional electrical transport, [ 7 ] which are related to their anisotropic shape. Over the past few years, a fi ne control over single-component semiconductor nanorods has been achieved by colloidal chemistry routes. [ 8–18 ] However, the growth of multicomponent nanorods has been relativel...

High temperature continuous flow synthesis of CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdS/ZnS, and CdSeS/ZnS nanocrystals.

Continuous flow reactors show great promise for large-scale synthesis of quantum dots. Here, we discuss results for the synthesis of multi-layered Cd-based hybrid nanocrystals - CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdS/ZnS, and CdSeS/ZnS - in a continuous flow reactor. The simple reactor design and liquid-phase chemistry obviate the need for preheating or in-line mixing, and the chosen reactor dimensions and operatin...

Low-temperature, template-free synthesis of wurtzite ZnS nanostructures with hierarchical architectures

Hierarchical wurtzite ZnS architectures assembled from nanosheets and nanorods, such as branched flowers and fluffy solid and hollow spheres, have been synthesized by a facile, template-free, low-temperature solution route. The growth of wurtzite ZnS nanostructures at temperatures as low as 4 ◦C without any organic additives has been realized by the slow reaction between Zn(NH3) 2+ 4 and thioac...

A simple solution route to controlled synthesis of ZnS submicrospheres, nanosheets and nanorods.

ZnS nanostructures with different morphologies of submicrospheres, nanosheets and nanorods were synthesized by solution precipitation of thiourea with Zn(NO(3))(2) in the presence of block copolymer at low temperature. The sizes and morphologies of ZnS can be controlled simply by changing the processing parameters. The results show that the ZnS submicrospheres are of 250-500 nm in diameter, nan...
