Sb₂Te₃ nanoparticle-containing single-walled carbon nanotube films coated with Sb₂Te₃ electrodeposited layers for thermoelectric applications.

ABSTRACT: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising thermoelectric materials owing to their flexibility and excellent durability when exposed to heat and chemicals. Thus, they are expected to be used in power supplies for various sensors. However, their thermoelectric performances are inferior to those of inorganic thermoelectric materials. To improve the thermoelectric performance while maintaining the excellent characteristics of SWCNTs, a novel approach to form inorganic thermoelectric layers on the SWCNT bundle surfaces using electrodeposition is proposed. We synthesized Sb₂Te₃ nanoparticle-containing SWCNT films and coated them with electrodeposited Sb₂Te₃ layers. The Sb₂Te₃ nanoparticles were synthesized via a sponta
