Effect of ionic liquid amount (C8H15BrN2) on the morphology of Bi2Te3 nanoplates

Bi2Te3 crystals with plate-like morphology have been successfully synthesized via a microwave-assisted heating approach in room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (C8H15BrN2). Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) observation of as-synthesized Bi2Te3 confirmed thei
