Nanocrystals of an inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor: Formation of uniform nanobelts of [ZnSe](diethylenetriamine)0.5 in a ternary solution
Well-defined inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor nanobelts (see Figure) are produced by large-scale solvothermal synthesis through tuning the composition of a ternary solution composed of diethylenetriamine (DETA), hydrazine hydrate, and deionized water. A suitable amount of hydrazine hydrate is essential for the formation of elegant and uniform [ZnSe](EDTA)(0.5) nanobelts.
