Hole-induced Large-area Homoepitaxial Growth of CdSe Nanowire Arrays for Photovoltaic ApplicationAbstractHole-induced Large-area Homoepitaxial Growth of CdSe Nanowire Arrays for Photovoltaic ApplicationAbstractOne-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanostructure arrays, nanostructures with uniform size and orientation, have attracted great interest due to the amazing properties arising from their distinct array structure and shown tremendous potential in diverse fields such as nanoelectronics, nano-optoelectronics, and sensors. There are currently two main methods used to fabricate NW arrays namely epitaxial growth and template-assisted methods. Lattice matched substrate is requisite to achieve the epitaxial growth of NW arrays in the epitaxial growth method; however, the lack of suitable substrates limits the NW arrays available. As for the latter, polycrystalline NWs instead of single-crystalline NWs are usually fabricated because of the low-temperature and solution-based growth method. Therefore, it remains a critical challenge to develop a general method for large-scale synthesis of single-crystalline NW arrays.Herein, we develop a feasible method for one-step catalyst-free preparation of large-area, highly aligned CdSe NW arrays. The mian works in this thesis include:We have systemically investigated the influences of substrate patterning on tuning the morphologies and structures of CdSe nanostructures. By carefully controlling the experimental conditions, various 1D CdSe nanostructures, including namowires (NWs), nanoribbons (NRs) and nanocombs, were successfully synthesized. It was found that CdSe nanoarrays tended to grow on the patterned Si substrate.We developed a new strategy for achieving one-step homoepitaxial growth of highly aligned CdSe NW arrays by utilizing porous silicon as substrates. The porous Si with dense holes could promote the nucleation of CdSe micro-crystals at early stage of vapor phase transport owing to its high surface energy. Subsequentl
