Abstract

See full text

The present invention teaches a successful synthesis regime to grow highly oriented plate-like In2Te3 nanostructures inside bulk thermoelectric Bi2Te3 using a thermodynamically driven nucleation and growth technique. As described herein, the inventive materials can further be doped with +2 and +4 rare earth elements, and others, in order to achieve the desired performance characteristics.
