45 - 026Low-Temperature Elemental-Direct-Reaction Route to II–VI Semi-conductor Nanocrystalline ZnSe and CdSe. — The title compoundsare synthesized hydrothermally from the elements in H2O (autoclave, 180 ◦C,24 h). The samples are characterized by powder XRD, TEM, and Ramanspectroscopy. A possible reaction mechanism is suggested. The preparationmethod is very simple and greatly decreases the direct reaction temperatureof elemental Zn (Cd) and Se. The hydrothermal elemental reaction method isexpected to be applicable to the fabrication of other nanosized semiconductorcompounds. — (PENG, QING; DONG, YAJIE; DENG, ZHAOXING; SUN,XIAOMIN; LI, YADONG; Inorg.
