Abstract

Single-crystalline CdSe nanostructures with adjustable aspect ratios: starting from a cadmium chalcogenolate single-source precursor, we obtained high-quality CdSe nanostructures with aspect ratios in the range of 2−100. The application of subsequent wetting−crystallization−cooling cycles allowed a stepwise alteration of the aspect ratio of the single-crystalline products.
