Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nanomaterial preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of tellurium nanowires, tellurium nanowire ink and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a narrow-bandgap semiconductor, tellurium has excellent thermoelectric response characteristics and has wide application prospects in the fields of electronic industry, new energy technology, flexible wearable devices and the like. Tellurium-based thermoelectric materials have excellent quantum confinement effect, super strong phonon scattering properties, great specific surface area and excellent energy density, so that they become an ideal thermoelectric material.

[0003] At present, tellurium nanowires are widely studied as commonly used tellurium-based thermoelectric materials. For example, patent CN 100509619C discloses a synthesis method of tellurium nanowires, which obtains tellurium nanowires by sealing a polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium tellurite aqueous solution, hydrazine hydrate and ammonia water in a reaction container for reaction. Literature (Energy, 2017, 125:519-525) reports an in-situ synthesis method of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) functionalized tellurium nanorods, which combines tellurium nanorods with PEDOT:PSS by a vacuum-assisted filtration method to form a PEDOT:PSS / PF-Te composite film, so that the Seebeck coefficient is increased from 15.6 muV / K to 51.6 muV / K. However, the above method is complex, usually needs to add a large amount of organic polymer (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone), uses a large amount of organic solvent in the synthesis process, and the synthesized product needs to be treated (such as acetone washing) to remove the residual organic polymer on the tellurium nanowires, and the use of organic solvent, acetone and waste liquid treatment increases the production cost and the risk of environmental pollution; and the above synthesis method usually uses a dangerous reducing agent (such as hydrazine hydrate which has strong corrosiveness and toxicity), which increases the danger of production operation. In addition, the tellurium nanowires prepared by the existing method have low dispersion concentration and poor dispersibility, and it is difficult to realize high-precision printing on different substrates, and there are still challenges in constructing thermoelectric devices with high resolution and high thermoelectric performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new preparation method of tellurium nanowires. SUMMARY

[0019] and / or,

[0020] In S3, the washing includes filtration or centrifugation.
