A new generation of alloyed/multimetal chalcogenide nanowires by chemical transformation
One-dimensional metal chalcogenide nanostructures are important candidates for many technological applications such as photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices. However, the design and synthesis of one-dimensional metal chalcogenide nanostructured materials with controllable components and properties remain a challenge. We report a general chemical transformation process for the synthesis of mor...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of lead chalcogenide core-shell nanostructures.
We present the full thermoelectric characterization of nanostructured bulk PbTe and PbTe-PbSe samples fabricated from colloidal core-shell nanoparticles followed by spark plasma sintering. An unusually large thermopower is found in both materials, and the possibility of energy filtering as opposed to grain boundary scattering as an explanation is discussed. A decreased Debye temperature and an ...
متن کاملThermoelectric properties of copper chalcogenide alloys deposited via the solution-phase using a thiol–amine solvent mixture
There has been a growing interest in solution-phase routes to thermoelectric materials due to the decreased costs and novel device architectures that these methods enable. Many excellent thermoelectric materials are metal chalcogenide semiconductors and the ability to create soluble metal chalcogenide semiconductor precursors using thiol–amine solvent mixtures was recently demonstrated by other...
متن کاملNon-aqueous electrodeposition of functional semiconducting metal chalcogenides: Ge2Sb2Te5 phase change memory
We report a new method for electrodeposition of device-quality metal chalcogenide semiconductor thin films and nanostructures from a single, highly tuneable, non-aqueous electrolyte. This method opens up the prospect of electrochemical preparation of a wide range of functional semiconducting metal chalcogenide alloys that have applications in various nano-technology areas, ranging from the elec...
متن کاملSurface effects on electronic transport of 2D chalcogenide thin films and nanostructures
The renewed interest in two-dimensional materials, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides, has been explosive, evident in a number of review and perspective articles on the topic. Our ability to synthesize and study these 2D materials down to a single layer and to stack them to form van der Waals heterostructures opens up a wide range of possibilities from fundamental studies of nanoscal...
