Nanorods in minutes

PbSe nanorods have been successfully made by solution–liquid–solid (SLS) growth of PbSe nanocrystals. This growth was followed by oriented attachment of adjacent PbSe nanoparticles. The team from South Korea who carried out this synthesis used Bi catalysts dispersed in the precursor solution to make these nanocrystals thereby reducing the time and temperature taken to produce them.
