The Use of Single‐Source Precursors for the Solution–Liquid–Solid Growth of Metal Sulfide Semiconductor Nanowires

All wired up! High-quality colloidal PbS and CdS nanowires were grown from Bi nanoparticles by the solution–liquid–solid (SLS) mechanism. The single-source-precursor strategy could provide a general approach for the synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanowires.
