Description
Summary:We summarized the morphology and applications of nanoparticles formed by Ostwald ripening and Kirkendall effect; studied the interesting phenomenon of Ostwald ripening in the synthesis of Zinc Chalcogenide Quantum Rods; obtained a unique structure when synthesizing copper phosphide nanocrystals and further analysed this growth mechanism affected by the Kirkendall effect; based on the obtained various structures and compositions of Cu3P nanocrystals, we studied their The Carbon Dioxide Reduction Reaction (CO2RR) performance.
