CdSe clusters react with liquid Bi- nanocatalysts to form one-dimensional CdSe nanowires in solution. The use of cluster precursors as compared to molecular precursors leads to a high local CdSe concentration, which favors the growth of nanowires with thin diameters and a narrow diameter distribution.

With the increasing integration density of silicon-based circuits, traditional electrical interconnections have shown their technological limitations. In recent years, GeSn materials have attracted great interest due to their potential direct bandgap transition and compatibility with silicon-based technologies. GeSn materials, including GeSn films, GeSn alloys, and GeSn nanowires, are adjustable, scalable, and compatible with silicon.

Heavy-metal (Cd, Hg, and Pb)-containing semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been explored widely due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity risks of heavy metals can be a drawback of heavy-metal-containing NCs in some applications. Anisotropic heavy-metal-free semiconductor NCs are desirable replacements and can be realized following the establishment of anisotropic growth mechanisms.

We present a self-seeded (with indium droplets) solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis route for InSb nanowires (NWs) using commercially available precursors at a relatively low temperature of about 175 °C, which takes only 1 min upon the injection of reductant. Structural characterization reveals that the InSb nanowires are high quality and have twinning superlattice structures with periodically spaced twin planes along the growth direction of 〈111〉. Notably, we have measured an ultrafast conductivity lifetime in the NWs of just 9.

CdSe/Cu core/shell nanowires (NWs) are successfully synthesized by a wet chemical method for the first time. By utilizing the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism, CdSe NWs are fabricated by Bi seeds, which act as catalysts. In the subsequent radial overcoating of the Cu shell on the CdSe NWs, Fe ions have been proven to be an indispensable and efficient catalyzer.

A triblock asymmetric nanostructure composed of a core-shell Fe2O3@SiO2 cube as the head, SiO2 rod as the body and SiO2 tube as the tail is fabricated via a sequential growth process combining solution-liquid-solid and droplet soft templating mechanisms, which can be used as a nano stir bar with accelerated catalytic performance.
