Excellent thermoelectric performance achieved in Bi2Te3/Bi2S3@Bi nanocomposites

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Mar 9;57(20):2555-2558. doi: 10.1039/d1cc00119a.

Abstract

A Bi2Te3/Bi2S3@Bi nanocomposite with a network microstructure was successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method and spark plasma sintering. This composite was constructed from Bi2Te3 nanoparticles and Bi2S3@Bi nanowires, and its network structure is beneficial for obtaining excellent thermoelectric performance. A ZT peak of 1.2 at 450 K was realized for the nanocomposite sample.
