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.
