MAC it happen : Presented is a study of the synergistic structuredirecting effect of metal–amine complexes (MACs) with different chelating polyamine ligands and imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) cations. For the first time, a layered selenidostannate with an asymmetric eight-membered ring, an organic-decorated layered selenidostannate, and a 3D selenidostannate with both the MAC and IL cation...

Large-Scale Synthesis of Semiconductor Nanowires by Thermal Plasma

Dendrimer-mediated hydrothermal synthesis of ultrathin gold nanowires

We report the use of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers as stabilizers to synthesize ultrathin Au nanowires (NWs) with a diameter of 1.3 nm via a hydrothermal approach. The formation of uniform Au NWs was optimized by varying the Au/Ag salt molar ratio, dendrimer stabilizers, and reaction solvent, temperature, and time. A novel growth mechanism involving a synergic facet-dependent deposition/reduction...

Large-scale synthesis of ultrathin hexagonal tin disulfide nanosheets with highly reversible lithium storage.

Ultrathin hexagonal SnS(2) nanosheets are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal reaction. The nanosheets have been applied as an anode for lithium-ion battery, which shows highly reversible capacity and good cycling stability with excellent capacity retention of 96% after 50 cycles.
