Abstract: Antimony dendrites have been successfully synthesized by a microwave-assisted method under ambient air from the solution containing antimony sodium tartrate. In the reaction, zinc powders were selected as a reductant for the fabrication. The as-prepared products were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction. The dendrites were found to be composed of well-crystallized nanoflakes with size of 20–40 nm. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
