| Abstract | This paper reports a study on the formation mechanism of nanoparticles (NPs) composed of bismuth, antimony and tellurium for thermoelectric materials using a modified polyol synthetic route. Our one-pot synthesis technique has proven highly versatile in creating a wide range of different anisotropic NPs such as nanowires (NWs), nanodiscs (NDs), nanoribbons and nanospines (NDs studded on NWs) simply by modifying the capping species or elemental precursor feeding ratio used in the synthesis. However, an independent control of morphology and composition is still hugely challenging and the facile synthesis of (Bi,Sb)2Te3 solid solution NPs is not a trivial task, reflecting the complex nature of this multicomponent system. To achieve this goal, it is imperative to understand the formation mechanism based on a systematic investigation of mono- and binary elemental NP systems. Our study clearly shows the different actions of oleylamine (OAM) and decanethiol (DT) capping ligands in our synthesis reaction. In the case of DT capping system, Te NDs are first formed, and then, Bi and Sb are separately incorporated into the Te ND structure viacatalytic decomposition of Bi-DT and Sb-DT complexes on the Te ND surfaces. Therefore, the resulting NPs are phase segregated into Te, Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3. On the other hand, in the case of the OAM capping system, Te NWs and Bi-Sb solid solution NPs are formed separately, and then, parts of Te NWs are transformed into (Bi,Sb)2Te3 phase via oriented attachment of Bi-Sb NPs and Te NWs. These findings are crucially important towards the one-pot synthesis of uniform (Bi,Sb)2Te3 nanobuilding blocks with controllable characteristics for highly efficient thermoelectric materials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
