Abstract
We report the first synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline Bi2Te3 with particle sizes less than 10 nm. The reaction of BiOClO4·xH2O with (Me3Si)2Te in a reverse micelle formed by sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate and water in hexane has produced good yields (71%) of a black powder that has been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy.
