Preparation and Thermoelectric Performance of Tellurium Nanowires-based Thin-Film Materials
Source abstract
Abstract
Flexible thermoelectric devices have received a great deal of interest due to their capability of direct convert human body heat into electrical energy. In this work, we synthesized the tellurium nanowires by using hydrothermal method. The effects of hydrothermal temperature and reducibility of the reaction solution (with or without ascorbic acid) on morphology and thermoelectric properties of tellurium nanowires were investigated.
