Fabrication of Bi2Te3 Nanowires Applied in Thermoelectric Generators
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Compared with block and quantum well thin-film materials, nanowire materials can have better thermoelectric properties and higher merit of ZT values. Electro-chemistry method was used to deposit nanowires in the highly ordered holes of AAO (Anodic Aluminum Oxide). Several conditions were discussed and experimented to determine an appropriate condition for the co-deposition of Bi and Te. Some optimization measures are proposed to obtain more stable fabrication results. Analysis demonstrates that the nanowire grew along the pores from the bottom to the top.
