Large-scale production of ultrathin topological insulator bismuth telluride nanosheets by a hydrothermal intercalation and exfoliation route
Abstract
A convenient hydrothermal intercalation/exfoliation method for large-scale manufacturing of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanosheets is reported here. Lithium cations can be intercalated between the layers of Bi2Te3 using the reducing power of ethylene glycol in the common hydrothermal process, and high quality Bi2Te3 nanosheets with thickness down to only 3–4 nm are obtained by removing lithium in the following exfoliating process. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectrum characterizations confirm that the high yield of Bi2Te3 nanosheets with good quality were successfully achieved and the sizes of the immense nanosheets reached 200 nm width and 1 μm length. This hydrothermal intercalation/exfoliation method is general, as it has been extended to other layered materials, such as Bi2Se3 and MoS2. Our results suggest a simple route for the large-scale production of thin and flat Bi2Te3 nanosheets, which may be beneficial to further electronic and spintronics applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
