Sulfur-free synthesis of size tunable rickardite (Cu3−xTe2) spheroids and planar squares

We report a novel synthesis of monodisperse samples of copper telluride with crystallinity and stoichiometry corresponding to forms of rickardite, Cu3−xTe2 (x < 1). This synthesis makes use of a ligand balanced reaction to allow control over shape and size by varying the relative and absolute con...
