There are several methods to synthesize bismuth telluride nanowires, including:
- Electrodeposition: This method involves depositing bismuth and tellurium ions onto a substrate through an electrochemical process. - Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): In CVD, gaseous precursors react on a substrate to form the nanowires. - Hydrothermal Synthesis: This involves chemical reactions in an aqueous solution at high temperatures and pressures.
Each method has its own advantages and challenges, and the choice depends on the desired properties and applications of the nanowires.
