Research Abstract |
We successfully synthesized thermoelectric (TE) Bi-Sb-Te and Zn-Sb nanoparticles (NPs). Then, higher-order structures superlattice structures) composed of those TE NPs as building blocks could be fabricated. In consequence, we obtained the following results: (1) A synthesis method for single-phase (Bi,Sb)2Te3 nanowires (NWs) was developed; (2) Higher-order structures composed of (Bi,Sb)2Te3 NWs were created using wet-chemical processes and their TE properties were measured; (3) a synthesis method for ZnSb NPs was developed and their TE properties were measured.
