Abstract

Nanocrystalline Cu₇Te₄ was directly synthesized by the reaction of CuCl₂-IH₂O and tellurium in an autoclave with ethylenediamine as solvent at 160°C for 10 h. X-ray powder diffraction patterns, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and transmission electron microscope images show that the products are hexagonal Cu₇Te₄ phase and well crystallized with an average size of about 15 nm. The solvent ethylenediamine played an important role in the synthesis of nanocrystalline Cu₇Te₄. The reaction mechanism was proposed.
