Small Bi nanoparticles prepared upon reduction of Bi‐III compounds catalyze the growth of thick CdSe nanowires (see image). The control of Bi particle and CdSe nanowire growth rate allows adjustment of the dimensions of the nanowires, which is important for the preparation of various types of nanowires in solution.
