Structure and Thermoelectric Properties of Bi2-xSbxTe₃ Nanowires Grown in Flexible Nanoporous Polycarbonate Templates.
We report the room-temperature growth of vertically aligned ternary Bi2-xSbxTe₃ nanowires of diameter ~200 nm and length ~12 µm, within flexible track-etched nanoporous polycarbonate (PC) templates via a one-step electrodeposition process. Bi2-xSbxTe₃ nanowires with compositions spanning the entire range from pure Bi₂Te₃ (x = 0) to pure Sb₂Te₃ (x = 2) were systematically grown within the nanopo...

Title of Document: THERMOELECTRIC TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN SEMICONDUCTING NANOSTRUCTURES Jane Elizabeth Cornett, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Associate Professor Oded Rabin, Department of Materials Science and Engineering The efficiencies of state-of-the-art thermoelectric devices made from bulk materials remain too low for widespread application. Early predictions by Hicks and Dressel...
متن کاملTemplate-Assisted Hydrothermal Growth of Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Applications
A flexible and robust piezoelectric nanogenerator (NG) based on a polymer-ceramic nanocomposite structure has been successfully fabricated via a cost-effective and scalable template-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method. Vertically aligned arrays of dense and uniform zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) with high aspect ratio (diameter ∼250 nm, length ∼12 μm) were grown within nanoporous polycarbo...
متن کاملElectrochemical fabrication of textured Bi2Te3 nanowire arrays
Initiated by the theoretical works of Hicks and Dresselhaus [1], the interest in nanostructured materials as more efficient thermoelectric materials has increased enormously. Recent experimental results on structures ranging from superlattices [2] to Si nanowires [3,4] emphasize the potential of tailoring materials properties by implementing finiteand quantum-size effects to circumvent classica...
متن کاملSelf-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes as templates for cylindrical polypyrrole nanotubes and nanowires: an X-ray scattering and scanning force microscopy investigation.
Self-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes with nearly perfect cylindrical pores are used for the preparation of similarly perfect cylindrical polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes. A complete investigation of the structural properties that result at different stages of the preparation route of polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes is based on a combination of real and reciprocal ...
