High-yield synthesis of single-crystalline antimony telluride hexagonal nanoplates using a solvothermal approach.
We report a high-yield synthesis of single-crystal hexagonal Sb2Te3 nanoplates using a solvothermal approach. The experimental results show that the concentration of capping agent CTAB played a key role in the formation of nanoplates. This new nanostructure may provide opportunity for the exploration of novel thermoelectric properties and have potential applications in thermoelectric nanodevices.
متن کاملHigh-thermoelectric performance of nanostructured bismuth antimony telluride bulk alloys.
The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth antimony telluride (BiSbTe) bulk alloys has remained around 1 for more than 50 years. We show that a peak ZT of 1.4 at 100 degrees C can be achieved in a p-type nanocrystalline BiSbTe bulk alloy. These nanocrystalline bulk materials were made by hot pressing nanopowders that were ball-milled from crystalline ingots under inert con...
متن کاملThermoelectric power factor of ternary single-crystalline Sb2Te3- and Bi2Te3-based nanowires.
Nanowires of bismuth antimony telluride and bismuth telluride selenide (Bi15Sb29Te56 and Bi38Te55Se7) were grown by template-based pulsed electrodeposition. The composition and the crystallinity of the nanowires were determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity) of single p- and n-type nanowires, w...
