Hydrothermal synthesis of single-crystalline antimony telluride nanobelts

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Dec 27;128(51):16490-1. doi: 10.1021/ja066944r.

Abstract

The single-crystalline Sb2Te3 nanobelts were successfully synthesized by a novel and convenient surfactant-assisted hydrothermal approach. The ionic surfactant AOT acted as the shape controller in the synthetic process. We believe that this synthetic route could be applied to obtain other low-dimensional semiconducting telluride nanostructures.
