A solution-phase route for the preparation of single-crystalline iron phosphide nanorods and nanowires is reported. We have shown that the mixture of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and trioctylphosphine (TOP), which are commonly used as the solvents for semiconductor nanocrystal synthesis, is not entirely inert. In the current process, TOP, serving as phosphor source, reacts with Fe precursors to form FeP nanostructures with large aspect ratios. In addition, the experimental results show that both TOP and TOPO are necessary for the formation of FeP nanowires and their ratio appears to control the morphology of the produced FeP structures. A possible growth mechanism is discussed.
