Nanosheets and nanowires


Researchers have found a convenient way to selectively prepare germanium sulfide nano structures, including nano sheets and nano wires, that are more active than their bulk counterparts. Germanium mono sulfide, GeS, is emerging as one of the most important "IV-VI" semiconductor materials with potential in
opto-electronics applications for telecommunications and computing, and as an absorber of light for use in solar energy conversion. One important property is its much lower toxicity and environmental impact when compared to other semiconductors made with cadmium, lead and mercury.
