Abstract
Solvothermal synthesis in a monodentate ligand, namely, n-butylamine, is a general route for the synthesis of semiconductor chalcogenide nanorods from cheap inorganic reactants. The amine proved to be a good shape controller for producing CdS, CdSe, ZnSe, and PbSe nanorods (see picture) under relatively mild conditions.
