Solvothermal Synthesis of Indium Telluride Nanowires and Its Photoelectrical Property.
In this paper, 1D In2Te3 nanowires were synthesizes through a simple solvothermal approach. The morphology was first studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From the results, the nanowires have a diameter from 100 to 200 nm and a length of dozens of microns. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectrum were used to study the composition, crystal structures, and optical property. Based on the typical nanowire sample, experiment factors were changed to synthsize other samples in order to study the influence factors. A possible growth mechanism of the nanowires was proposed based on a series of experimental results. This material has a broad light detection range covering the UV-visible-NIR region from the photoelectrical test, which makes it potential for applications in photodetectors and solar cells.
