Abstract

We investigated the colloidal synthesis of Bi2Se3 nanosheets in ethylene glycol with the goal of increasing their lateral dimensions while keeping their thickness within a few nanometers. The influence of proton-donating sulfuric acid was found to be a triggering factor that promoted the lateral gro...
