“…Impurity peak of chromium (Cr) is not reflected in elemental composition and can be ignored. Some other authors [147][148][149] have reported that the atomic composition of Cd and S in CdS nanowires is close to 1:1 stoichiometry using EDAX, as observed in our investigations. Sun Li et al [149] have recently reported synthesis of sulphide nanowire arrays of CdS and ZnS through template-assisted electrodeposition.…”

One-dimensional nanowires (NWs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their novel physical properties and potential applications as interconnects in nanometre-scale electronics. NWs have potential applications in nanoscale electronics, optoelectronics, photonics, sensors, and solar cells due to their unique electrical, chemical, and optical properties. Several chemical and physical methods are commonly used to produce NWs. Among them, electrochemical synthesis and vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) methods to produce NWs have become popular among scientific workers due to a number of advantages. Synthesis of NWs using anodic alumina and polymer templates in an electrochemical cell has been described in detail as investigated in our laboratory. Characterization of metal and semiconductor NWs has been accomplished using scanning electron microscope (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high resolution transmission microscope (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). Morphology of NWs has been revealed by SEM, structure by TEM, crystallinity by XRD and chemical composition by EDAX. I-V characteristics of copper and semiconductor NWs were recorded in-situ, as grown in pores of anodic alumina template, using Dual Source Meter (Keithley Model 4200 SCS) with platinum probes for contacts. Resonating tunneling diode (RTD) characteristics of fabricated NWs have been investigated. Bulk production of Copper NWs has been described by seed growth technique. Applications of NWs are not covered in any detail under this review. Table of Contents

“…The electrochemical synthesis and characterization of wide band gap binary compound semiconductor nanowires such as ZnS [13], CdS [13,14], CuS [15,16], CdSe [17,18], CdTe [19][20][21][22] and ZnTe [22,23] have been conducted extensively for their wide range of applications in nanoscale sensors, optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices in recent years. However, a synthesis of only a few ternary compound semiconductor nanowires, such as CdZnTe [24,25], CdSSe [26], AgSeTe [27] has been reported so far.…”

“…synthesis and characterization of nanowires for window, absorber and back contact materials, the three main component of a photovoltaic device. The CdS and CdTe nanowires have been widely studied [13,14,[19][20][21][22] for their application in nanowires based CdS/CdTe solar cell and other optoelectronic devices. There are, however fewer reports on p-type semiconductor contact material nanowires that can be used in nanowires based CdS/CdTe photovoltaic device for forming ohmic contact to CdTe nanowires base.…”

ZnCuTe nanowires have been successfully synthesized via template-assisted one step electrodeposition technique from an aqueous solution of zinc sulphate (ZnSO 4 Á7H 2 O), copper sulphate (CuSO 4 Á5H 2 O) and tellurium oxide (TeO 2 ) at room temperature (303 K). Nanowires of diameter 200, 100 and 50 nm have been synthesized on copper and indium tin oxide coated glass substrates using track-etch polycarbonate membranes (Whatman). The morphologies and structures of electrodeposited ZnCuTe nanowires were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM confirmed the formation of nanowires and reveal that the morphologies of nanowires have diameter equal to the diameter of the templates used. The XRD pattern have shown a preferential growth of ZnCuTe nanowires along the (119) direction and the structure corresponding to hexagonal structure. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed that the zinc copper telluride nanowires are constituted of elements Zn, Cu and Te.
