The accurate determination of the 3D geometries of single-crystal quasi-1D nanostructures is described, including sidelengths, perimeters, areas, lengths, and azimuth and elevation angles. This is a major step toward the synthesis of quasi-1D nanostructures with superior uniformity, and tightly controlled geometrical or geometry-dependent properties.

The rediscovery of one-dimensional (1D) and quasi-1D (q-1D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals ushered the realization of nascent physical properties in 1D that are suitable for applications in photonics, electronics, and sensing. However, despite renewed interest in the creation and understanding of the physical properties of 1D and q-1D vdW crystals, the lack of accessible synthetic pathways for growing well-defined nanostructures that extend across several length scales remains. Using the highly anisotropic 1D vdW NbS-I crystal as a model phase, we present a catalyst-free and bottom-up synthetic approach to access ultralong nanowires, with lengths reaching up to 7.

Two-dimensional heterostructures, characterized by a twist angle between individual sublayers, offer unique and tunable properties distinct from standalone layers. These structures typically introduce a realm of exotic quantum phenomena due to the appearance of new, long range periodicities associated with Moiré superlattices. Using molecular beam epitaxy, we demonstrate the growth of bi-allotropic 2D-Sb heterostructures on a W(110) substrate composed of twisted α (α-Sb) and β (β-Sb) phases of antimonene.

Of these, the highly anisotropic q-1D vdW crystal structure and the visible-light optical/optoelectronic properties of antimony trisulfide (SbS) have led to its widespread consideration as a promising building block for photovoltaic and non-volatile phase change devices. However, while these applications will greatly benefit from well-defined and sub-nanometer-thick q-1D structures, little has been known about feasible synthetic routes that can access single covalent chains of SbS.

The design of innovative carbon-based nanostructures stands at the forefront of both chemistry and materials science. In this context, π-conjugated compounds are of great interest due to their impact in a variety of fields, including optoelectronics, spintronics, energy storage, sensing and catalysis. Despite extensive research efforts, substantial knowledge gaps persist in the synthesis and characterization of new π-conjugated compounds with potential implications for science and technology.

Bismuth sulfide (BiS) nanostructures have gained significant attention in the fields of catalysis, optoelectronics, and biomedicine due to their unique physicochemical properties. This paper introduces a simple and cost-effective method for producing BiS microstructures at low temperatures (25 and 70 °C). These microstructures are formed by the hierarchical self-assembly of BiS nanoparticles, which are typically 15-40 nm in size.
