Uniform wurtzite MnSe nanocrystals with surface-dependent magnetic behavior

Morphology-dominant microwave absorption enhancement and electron tomography characterization of CoO self-assembly 3D nano-flowers

“…As reported previously, OM and OA as two distinct capping ligands are commonly used as capping agents in shapecontrolled syntheses of many inorganic NC. 19,[24][25][26] In our experiments, we speculate that OA plays a dual role. Firstly, it can facilitate the nucleation of CoO NC.…”

Synthesis of High-Quality α-MnSe Nanostructures with Superior Lithium Storage Properties

“…Manganese selenide (MnSe), as a close analogue to MnS, is a p-type semiconductor (band gap = 2.0 eV) . MnSe can crystallize into three kinds of structure forms: rock salt (RS), , zinc blende (ZB), and wurtzite (WZ). , Among them, rock salt MnSe (α-MnSe) is a stable phase, and the majority of relevant studies always focused on its optical and magnetic properties while a few investigations concerned its electrochemical performance as an energy storage material. , To date, only one study has reported an α-MnSe thin film LIB anode fabricated by reactive pulsed laser deposition. When used as anode material for LIBs, α-MnSe electrode can give a rather low voltage plateau (about 0.6 V vs Li/Li + ) with a theoretical capacity of 400 mAh g –1 and remain stable for 120 cycles.…”

Kinetic Growth of Ultralong Metastable Zincblende MnSe Nanowires Catalyzed by a Fast Ionic Conductor via a Solution–Solid–Solid Mechanism

“…Fortunately, recent progress has revealed that RS-MnSe quantum wires can be fabricated using mesoporous silica as templates or via a chemical vapor deposition . It is noted that MnSe nanostructures with the four-coordinate nonequilibrium polymorph of wurtzite (Wur) structure have also been fabricated via solution phases, from which these MnSe nanostructures are commonly present in particles, including bullet-, shuttle-, and tetrapod-shaped nanocrystals. − Wur-MnSe films were stabilized in early reports as a heterostructured components typically via epitaxial growth on GaAs substrate using group II–VI as a buffer − or a solid-state solution. , However, zincblende (ZB)-MnSe has rarely been reported. Several decades ago, Murray et al reported the synthesis of ZB-MnSe powders via precipitation between manganese acetate and hydrogen selenide, which contained impurities of minor Wur-MnSe and 15 wt % elemental selenium .…”
