Fast synthesis of double-directional tellurium submicron needles by microwave-assisted solution method

Abstract

A facile microwave-assisted solution method has been employed for the fast synthesis of tellurium double-directional submicron needles. A possible growth mechanism related to self-seed catalysis anisotropic growth combined with effects of PVP, concentration depletion and crystal surface tension is proposed and discussed.
