Abstract: In our work, we report a simple and controllable hydrothermal synthetic approach of NiSe nanostructures with two different morphologies, namely the hollow nanospheres and nanorod bundles. We have preliminarily explored the growth process of the NiSe nanorod bundles based on our experimental observations depending on different amounts of additive. In addition, we have also preliminarily studied the Raman active modes and magnetic properties of the hollow nanospheres and nanorod bundles at room temperature. Therefore, we believe that it will accelerate the development of NiSe in its practical applications.
