摘要
Nanostructural monophase LaxBi2-xSeyTe3-y alloy was synthesized with a hydrothermal route using BiCl3, LaCl3, selenium and tellurium powders as the precursors, NaOH and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetiate （EDTA） as the additives. The hydrothermally synthesized powders have a petal-like morphology self-structured by the parallel side-by-side arrangement of the nano-scales. It is found that an alkaline additive is necessary for the synthesis of a monophase Bi2Te3 based alloy.
