Abstract

Crooked Ag2Te nanowires with rough surfaces have been successfully fabricated via a one-pot microwave-assisted solution process in a short time. A possible formation mechanism related to the oriented attachment crystal growth mechanism and the incomplete Ostwald ripening process is presented. The obtained Ag2Te shows a maximum power factor of about 13.4 × 10?4 W m?1 K?2.
