One-dimensional II–VI nanostructures: Synthesis, properties and optoelectronic applications

SummaryThe distinct properties of II–VI nanostructures have opened new opportunities for the applications of II–VI semiconductor materials in electronics and optoelectronics. Herein, we present a comprehensive review on the recent advances in the synthesis, properties and optoelectronic applications of one-dimensional II–VI nanostructures. In particular, the approaches to manipulate the electronic, optoelectronic, and transport properties of II–VI nanostructures by controlled doping and the latest progresses in fabricating high-performance II–VI nanoelectronic and nano-optoelectronic devices are discussed.
