Harnessing waste heat from environmental or industrial sources presents a promising approach to eco-friendly and sustainable chemical synthesis. In this study, we introduce a thermoelectrocatalytic (TECatal) system capable of utilizing even small amounts of heat for hydrogen peroxide (HO) production. We developed a nanohybrid structure, combining carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and BiTe nanoflakes (BiTe/CNTs), through a one-pot synthesis method.

Recovering waste heat through thermoelectric (TE) technology is critical for enhancing energy efficiency. However, commercial devices often require n- and p-type thermoelectric units to have similar cross-sectional areas and conductivities, complicating optimization of their figure of merit (). Moreover, real-world heat sources are not constant temperature sources, and only heat flux can be measured.

Two-dimensional layered bismuth telluride (BiTe), a prominent topological insulator, has garnered global scientific attention for its unique properties and potential applications in optoelectronics and electrochemical devices. Notably, there is a growing emphasis on improving photon-to-electron conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), prompting the exploration of alternatives to noble metal catalysts like platinum (Pt). This study presents the synthesis of BiTe and its hybrid nanostructure with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) via a straightforward hydrothermal process.

Article Synopsis
  • - The MnBiTe-(BiTe) superlattice is a promising material that integrates topology and magnetism with low structural disorder, enabling effective study of magnetic properties.
  • - Researchers found that ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders in this system can be controlled by adjusting either the Mn-Mn distance or the BiTe/MnBiTe ratio.
  • - Their findings reveal that AFM order relies solely on the Mn-Mn distance, while FM order depends only on the BiTe/MnBiTe ratio, offering pathways to manipulate magnetic orders in similar materials.

BiTe is a well-known thermoelectric material that was first investigated in the 1960s, optimized over decades, and is now one of the highest performing room-temperature thermoelectric materials to-date. Herein, we report on the colloidal synthesis, growth mechanism, and thermoelectric properties of BiTe nanoplates with a single nanopore in the center. Analysis of the reaction products during the colloidal synthesis reveals that the reaction progresses via a two-step nucleation and epitaxial growth: first of elemental Te nanorods and then the binary BiTe nanoplate growth.
