Synthesis and characterization of hexagonal NiTe2 nanoplates.
Single-crystalline NiTe2 nanoplates have been synthesized on a large scale through a hydrothermal reaction of Ni(CH3COO)2 and TeO2 at 210 degrees C for 48 h. The NiTe2 nanoplates have hexagonal shape. The average edge sizes and thicknesses of nanoplates are 350 nm and 85 nm, respectively. Here, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is employed as a chelating agent. Furthermore, EDTA plays crucial roles in controlling phase composition and morphology of the resultant products.
