Introduction

Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology have been putting the size and shape-dependent characteristics of matters on the horizon. Due to this reason, huge efforts have been poured into finding parameters affecting the intrinsic properties of materials at nanometer scale. Other than the size effect, shapes of nanomaterials produce a class of materials in which their properties are variable with direction. The anisotropy in chemical and physical features created vigorous attention in a way to synthesize 1D and 2D nanomaterials. Especially, metal chalcogenide (MC), constituting a series of compound materials with its vast library on the periodic table, has been studied and demonstrated to exploit in numerous applications.
