Abstract: This paper describes a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of rod-shaped HgTe nanocrystals (NCs). X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transition electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) have been used to characterize the HgTe NCs. The length, diameter, surface roughness and the aspect ratio of the HgTe nanorods are well controlled through Te precursor, reaction time and reductant.

Abstract: We report the sonochemical synthesis of mercury telluride (HgTe) nanoparticles and the photocurrents of these nanoparticles and their organic hybrid system. The HgTe nanoparticles were about 5 nm in size and their lattice structure was cubic. Poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) was added to the HgTe nanoparticles for the formation of an inorganic(HgTe)-organic(PVK) hybrid system. The room-temperature photocurrents of the HgTe nanoparticles and the HgTe-PVK hybrid system were compared in this study. The photocurrent was significantly enhanced for the HgTe-PVK hybrid system.
