Ligand-assisted fabrication of hollow CdSe nanospheres viaOstwald ripening and their microwave absorption properties

Abstract

Hollow CdSe nanospheres were successfully synthesized by a ligand-assisted solvothermal method based on an Ostwald ripening mechanism. The hollow CdSe nanospheres were synthesized in benzyl alcohol under solvothermal conditions using Cd(Ac)2 and Se as the precursors, and tryptophan as a ligand. The resulting hollow structures consisted of small nanocrystallite building blocks. More importantly, the hollow CdSe nanospheres could be used as an excellent microwave absorber for cm- and mm-wave absorption, depending on the thickness of the absorber.
