Electrodeposit ion and Kinetical ly- Controlled Electrooxidation of Antimony Nanowires

چکیده
F a c u l t y M e n t o r Research has given Michael Thompson an understanding of the life of a research chemist, and helped him decide to work toward becoming one. He first became involved in research, under the guidance of Professor Penner, during winter 2004. Michael has been working on developing a unique method for synthesizing nanowires out of antimony. He had the opportunity to present his research to several European collaborators in Corfu, Greece. Michael’s advice to new researchers is to “work hard and get results,” adding that there is no better feeling than seeing so much hard work leading to exciting and important results.

TEM Measurements on Bi1-xSbx Nanowires
room temperature thermoelectric applications, while bismuth antimony alloys exhibit high efficiencies at liquid nitrogen temperature [3]. The synthesis of bismuth compound nanowires with controlled size and crystallinity, and the systematic study of their thermoelectric properties will thus contribute to better understand the influence of mesoscopic and quantum size effects on the thermoelectri...
متن کاملAn aqueous solution-based doping strategy for large-scale synthesis of Sb-doped ZnO nanowires.
An aqueous solution-based doping strategy was developed for controlled doping impurity atoms into a ZnO nanowire (NW) lattice. Through this approach, antimony-doped ZnO NWs were successfully synthesized in an aqueous solution containing zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine with antimony acetate as the dopant source. By introducing glycolate ions into the solution, a soluble antimony precurso...
متن کاملCan antimonide-based nanowires form wurtzite crystal structure?
The epitaxial growth of antimonide-based nanowires has become an attractive subject due to their interesting properties required for various applications such as long-wavelength IR detectors. The studies conducted on antimonide-based nanowires indicate that they preferentially crystallize in the zinc blende (ZB) crystal structure rather than wurtzite (WZ), which is common in other III-V nanowir...
متن کاملDiameter-Controlled and Surface-Modified Sb2Se3 Nanowires and Their Photodetector Performance
Due to its direct and narrow band gap, high chemical stability, and high Seebeck coefficient (1800 μVK(-1)), antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has many potential applications, such as in photovoltaic devices, thermoelectric devices, and solar cells. However, research on the Sb2Se3 materials has been limited by its low electrical conductivity in bulk state. To overcome this challenge, we suggest two ki...
متن کاملGrowth of Antimony Telluride and Bismuth Selenide Topological Insulator Nanowires
Topological insulators are a relatively new class of materials, which are insulating in the bulk and conductive on the surface. Surface conductance measurements of topological insulators are often obscured by impurities in the bulk. Nanowires made of a topologically insulating material provide a solution to this problem with their large surface-area-to-volume ratio. I examine the growth procedu...
