Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Sb2Te3 Nanoplates†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20150808

Abstract

Abstract:

Under hydrothermal conditions and with ethanolamine acting as the reducing agent, fractional reduction of Te $O 3 2 -$ was realized, and Sb₂Te₃ nanoplates were synthesized in situ with the newly generated Te nanorods acting as tellurium source. The as-prepared product was characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope(SEM), and transmission electron microscope(TEM). Results showed that the product presents the hexastyle nanoplate structure with the thickness of about 100—200 nm and the diameter of about 0.6—1.5 μm, and has a uniform morphology and good dispersibility. The suitable conditions were that the volume ratio of water to ethanolamine was 8∶12, and the reaction lasted for 24 h at 180 ℃. By comparing the crystal structures of the elemental Te and hexagonal Sb₂Te₃ as well as some experimental results, that the hexagonal phase Sb₂Te₃ grew epitaxially on the lateral sides of newly generated Te nanorods was discussed preliminarily, and their crystal orientations were (003)Te//(003)Sb₂Te₃, and [110]Te//[110]Sb₂Te₃.
