Hierarchical Bi 2 Te 3 Nanostrings: Green Synthesis and Their Thermoelectric Properties.
Chemistry : a European Journal 2018 July 12
Bi2 Te3 hierarchical nanostrings have been synthesized through a solvothermal approach with the assistance of sucrose. The hierarchical Bi2 Te3 was supposed to be fabricated through a self-assembly process. Te nanorods first emerge with the reduction of TeO3 2- followed by heterogeneous nucleation of Bi2 Te3 nanoplates on the surface and tips of Te nanorods. Te nanorods further transform into Bi2 Te3 nanorods simultaneously with the nanoplates' growth leading to a hierarchical structure. By controlling the reaction kinetics by adding different amount of ethylene glycol, the length of nanorods and the number of nanoplates could be tailored. The use of sucrose is vital to the formation of hierarchical structure because it not only serves as a template for the well-defined growth of Te nanorods but also promotes the heterogeneous nucleation of Bi2 Te3 in the self-assembly process. The Bi2 Te3 nanomaterial shows a moderate thermoelectric performance because of its hierarchical structure. This study shows a promising way to synthesize Bi2 Te3 -based nanostructures through environmental friendly approach.
