Synthesis and Growth Mechanism of NbSe₂ Nanostructures

Abstract:

Nb and Se elements were encapsulated in a quartz ampoules (Ø8×100mm), Then heated to 750°C and keep the quartz ampoules at corresponding temperature for 1h. Nanowires of NbSe₂ were obtained. This method is simple and minimizes the pollution. The nanostructure was investigated by XRD、EDAX、SEM、TEM and HRTEM. The results show that the nanostructures have outer diameters in the 40~200nm range, with lengths in excess of several hundred nanometers. Besides, growth process of nano- structure was discussed.
