Synthesis of Novel YbxSb2 − xTe3 Hexagonal Nanoplates: Investigation of Their Physical, Structural, and Photocatalytic Properties
Yb-doped Sb2Te3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a coreduction method in hydrothermal condition. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the YbxSb2−xTe3 crystals (x=0.00–0.05) are isostructural with Sb2Te3. The cell parameter a decreases for YbxSb2−xTe3 compounds upon increasing the dopant...
