Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how hexamethylenetetraamine (HMTA) affects the structure and electrical properties of δ-MnO, particularly focusing on ultrathick layers.
  • HMTA modifies the manganese oxide formation by producing a more porous "petal" structure, enhancing electronic conductivity significantly, and expanding the interlayer spacing for better lithium ion transport.
  • Overall, HMTA doping greatly improves the energy storage capabilities of δ-MnO, resulting in a 15-fold increase in specific capacity at high rates.

We describe the preparation and properties of a coaxial, three-layer, gold-CdSe-gold nanowire 30 μm in length that functions as a monolithic photodetector. The gold (Au) electrode core of this sandwich structure is prepared using the lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) method on a glass surface. A CdSe shell of defined thickness, dCdSe, from 200 to 280 nm is then electrodeposited on this Au nanowire.
