A solution-phase approach to Cd3P2 nanowires: synthesis and characterization†
Abstract
Single-crystalline Cd3P2 nanowires (NWs) have been synthesized via a solution–liquid–solid (SLS) mechanism. The lengths of the resulting nanowires can be effectively tuned in the range of 180 nm and 5 μm, and the photodetectors made of the Cd3P2 nanowires exhibited a pronounced photoresponse with high stability and reproducibility.
