Bismuth telluride is the working material for most Peltier cooling devices and thermoelectric
generators. This is because Bi2Te3 (or more precisely its alloys with Sb2Te3 for p‐type and …

Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electrical energy, which can potentially be
used to improve the fuel efficiency of conventional heat engines. In recent decades …

Iron-based microstructured or nanostructured materials, including Fe, γ-Fe2O3, and Fe3O4,
are highly desirable for magnetic applications because of their high magnetization and a …

Obtaining thermoelectric materials with high figure of merit ZT is an exacting challenge
because it requires the independent control of electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity …

One frontier approach of colloidal chemistry to nanoscale entities capable to exhibit
enhanced or even unconventional physical–chemical properties as well as diversified …

Abstract Bismuth chalcogenides Bi 2× 3 (X= O, S, Se) represent a unique type of materials in
diverse polymorphs and configurations. Multiple intrinsic features of Bi 2× 3 such as narrow …

Here, a novel synthesis for near monodisperse, sub‐10 nm Bi2Te3 nanoparticles is
reported. A new reduction route to bismuth nanoparticles is described, which are then …

Bismuth based compounds are uniquely interesting as anode materials in energy storage
devices such as rechargeable batteries, owing to their large volumetric capacity and suitable …

Due to a steady increase of electrical energy consumption, the demand for high-
performance energy storage materials becomes more urgent than ever. Compared to other …

Bi2O2CO3/BiOI composites were fabricated at room temperature for the first time by a facile
method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron …
