What is bismuth telluride?
Bismuth telluride has the characteristic of a topological insulator, allowing electrons to flow freely over its surface without any energy loss. Topological insulators are not conventional superconductors, nor can they be used in ultra-efficient power lines because they can only carry small amounts of current. Still, they pave the way for a paradigm shift in microchip development that could lead to new spintronics applications using electron spin to carry information. Moreover, bismuth telluride is easy to produce and use in practical applications. The three-dimensional material can be made using established semiconductor technology and is easily doped, so its properties can be easily tuned.
Hydrothermal synthesis of bismuth telluride powder and its thermal stability
By changing the experimental conditions, the single-phase Bi2Te3 powder was synthesized at 130 ~ 200℃, and the concentration of NaOH solution was 2 ~ 8 mol/L. The phase composition, morphology, crystal structure, and thermal stability of the product were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDAX) and thermal analysis system (TG-DTA). The results show that the concentration of NaOH solution is not only an essential factor for the synthesis of pure Bi2Te3 powder but also affects the crystal morphology and grain size of the obtained Bi2Te3 powder at a specific reaction temperature without the addition of surfactant. When the concentration of NaOH solution is low and the reaction temperature is high, Bi2Te3 is formed by atom binding, and vice versa; Bi2Te3 is formed by ion binding. The general formation mechanism is helpful for the synthesis of tellurides by hydrothermal or solvothermal methods in the future, and the study of thermal stability puts forward new requirements for experimental results.
