Synthesis of Quantum-Sized Cubic ZnS Nanorods by the Oriented Attachment Mechanism

Quantum-sized ZnS nanocrystals with quasi-spherical and rod shapes were synthesized by the aging reaction mixtures containing diethylzinc, sulfur, and amine. Uniform-sized ZnS nanorods with the average dimension of 5 nm x 21 nm, along with a small fraction of 5 nm-sized quasi-spherical nanocrystals,... View More
