Flexible Selenium Nanowires with Tuneable Electronic Bandgaps

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 32, August 14, 2025.
Nanotubes serve as effective test tubes for selenium nanowires, as their diameter precisely controls the width of the nanowires and the Se─Se bonding, resulting in a variety of different structures. An electron beam can be used to modify the nanotubes, allowing real‐time observation of the nanowire extrusion process. Additionally, optically transparent
