Abstract :
Filled skutterudite NaFe4P12 single crystal nanowires were synthesized by using a hydrothermal-reduction-alloying method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron diffraction (ED), Raman scattering, as well as elemental analysis were used to characterize the product. High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) was used to investigate the microstructure of the nanowire. A growth mechanism of NaFe4P12 nanowire was proposed
