Item Open Access Synthesis and characterization of metal chalcogenide and metal oxide nanostructures(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2008) Chick, Ka Yee (Anna), author; Parkinson, Bruce, advisorMetal chalcogenide and metal oxide materials are of interest for sensing and energy conversion applications due to their semiconducting properties. Nanostructures made from such materials, therefore, have potential to work as building blocks for nanoelectronics. Various synthetic methods have been developed for the preparation of different nanostructures. In this dissertation, three different synthetic methods are presented in the preparation of different metal chalcogenide and metal oxide nanostructures. The as-produced nanostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution (HR-) TEM, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
