dc.description.abstractIn this work, the bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanostructure for thermoelectric applications was successfully synthesised by a new cost-effective chemical solution process. Firstly, the metal solutions of bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate and tellurium dioxide were mixed together at room temperature with adjusting the hydrodynamic atmosphere and introduced the sodium hydroxide. After that, different characterisation parameters, such as X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray, and transverse electron microscopy (TEM) were obtained. Then, the average crystalline size of the Bi2Te3 nanostructure was found 23 nm. According to these obtained results, the materials consist of every specimen in nano range dimension in AFM studies. The elemental of Bi and Te were arranged with their quite stoichiometric atomic ratio observed by SEM. Ultimately, the TEM micrographs showed that the powders exhibited an aggregate phenomenon, and the primary crystalline size was about low dimension. © 2018 Institution of Engineering and Technology.
