Review on nanomaterials synthesized by vapor transport method: growth and their related applications

Abstract

Nanostructures with different dimensions, including bulk crystals, thin films, nanowires, nanobelts and nanorods, have received considerable attention due to their novel functionalities and outstanding applications in various areas.

PbI2 Single Crystal Growth and Its Optical Property Study

“…To date, growing PbI 2 single crystals with high chemical and structural quality has been challenging but essential for high performance detectors. The chemical vapor transport (CVT) method is a traditional and useful method to grow free-standing TMDC MX 2 (where M is a transition metal and X is a chalcogen element) bulk crystals [15]. The application of CVT has been extended from growing 3D bulk crystals to synthesizing 2D atomic layers by tuning the growth kinetics.…”

Comprehensive review of micro/nanostructured ZnSnO3: characteristics, synthesis, and diverse applications

“…In terms of surface energy, ZnSnO 3 crystals with an FCC structure generally exhibit the order of (111) < (100) < (110). This demonstrates that the normal surfaces of ZnSnO 3 crystals tend to exhibit (111) facets, while facets with higher surface energies such as {100} or {110} may not appear during realistic thermodynamic growth processes. 32 Zinc tin oxide/zinc stannate occur in two individual oxides with distinct crystal structures and varying Zn/Sn ratios.…”

Biocompatible Nanomaterials in Food Science, Technology, and Nutrient Drug Delivery: Recent Developments and Applications

“…Several novel techniques (e.g., biomaterials gained from nature, biosynthesis, and chemical chain modification) are used to control nanotoxicity. These are also adopted to synthesize biocompatible nanomaterials with numerous sizes, functions, and shapes (e.g., quantum dots nanocrystals, nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoporous) ( 32 , 33 ).…”
