Article Abstract
One-dimensional metallic transition-metal chalcogenide nanowires (TMC-NWs) hold promise for interconnecting devices built on two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides, but only isotropic growth has so far been demonstrated. Here we show the direct patterning of highly oriented MoTe NWs in 2D molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe) using graphite as confined encapsulation layers under external stimuli. The atomic structural transition is studied through in-situ electrical biasing the fabricated heterostructure in a scanning transmission electron microscope. Atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field STEM images reveal that the conversion of MoTe NWs from MoTe occurs only along specific directions. Combined with first-principles calculations, we attribute the oriented growth to the local Joule-heating induced by electrical bias near the interface of the graphite-MoTe heterostructure and the confinement effect generated by graphite. Using the same strategy, we fabricate oriented NWs confined in graphite as lateral contact electrodes in the 2H-MoTe FET, achieving a low Schottky barrier of 11.5 meV, and low contact resistance of 43.7 Ω µm at the metal-NW interface. Our work introduces possible approaches to fabricate oriented NWs for interconnections in flexible 2D nanoelectronics through direct metal phase patterning.

Copper chalcogenides such as CuSe, acknowledged as efficient CO reduction catalysts, do not represent the active phases but rather are precursors or pre-catalysts as they undergo significant transformations under reaction conditions. In this work we have tailored the initial structure of CuSe to steer structural evolution under catalytic conditions and facilitate the generation of the active phases. As-prepared CuSe nanowires were reconstructed through HO and electrochemical treatments, yielding distinct pre-catalysts.

The availability of nanomaterials with optical transitions in the near-infrared spectral range is of great importance for the development of solar cells and photodetectors, as well as for (bio)sensing and biolabelling. One attractive class of such materials comprises colloidal nanocrystals of ternary semiconductor materials, namely I-III-VI compounds which eventually can be doped with Zn(II) to become quaternary (I-II-III-VI) compounds. Recently, anisotropic shapes of these nanocrystals have been reported, with some specific areas of potential applications related to anisotropy in their optical responses, such as chiroptical responses in absorption and emission.

Discovery of new surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates consisting of inexpensive and earth-abundant elements is an unmet need for the advancement of future analysis techniques for the ultrasensitive detection and quantification of chemical and biological analytes. Nanostructures (NSs) of noble metals such as Au, Ag, and Cu are the benchmarks for the preparation of highly efficient SERS substrates because of their unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties.
