Abstract
Nanostructural self-assembly has become field of intense research activities from both fundamental and technological standpoints to understanding the mechanism of driving forces and finding artificial methods of assembling them into continuous structures without any obstructions. Various exciting and refined examples of nanostructured self-assembly are well documented. In the present manuscript the crystallization process and optical properties of self assembled CuSe–Ag hierarchical microporous sphere and drum-like structures, synthesized by wet chemical method has been investigated. Thus formed structures are accumulated by numerous polyhedral rod-like subunits, and each unit seems to be an incomplete structure of a randomly grown rod. Phase analysis, purity and morphology of the product have been well studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photo-luminescent spectroscopy (PL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Due to their microporous structures CuSe–Ag could be potential building blocks to construct functional devices like sensing and several other applications. A possible reaction mechanism for the formation of CuSe–Ag has also been proposed.
