Electrochemical synthesis of nanostructured tellurium films

摘要: Abstract Direct templating of materials via lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophases non-ionic surfactants provides an elegant and highly versatile route to the production a wide range nanostructured with well-defined mesoporous architectures extended spatial periodicities. This technique has now been applied in electrochemical synthesis adherent tellurium films. represents important step towards II–IV semiconductor compounds such as cadmium telluride. Low angle X-ray scattering transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies resulting films indicate presence system uniform cylindrical pores organized hexagonal array.
