Abstract

We have successfully developed an ethylene glycol mediated solution phase method for synthesizing highly crystalline Bi₂Te₃nanotubes using Te nanowires as the in situ templates; our work demonstrates the generic feature of a solution phase mediated Kirkendall effect for the synthesis of not only hollow nanoparticles but also highly crystalline tubular structures.
