Nanostructuring has been successfully employed to enhance the thermoelectric performance of Bi2Te3 due to its obtained low thermal conductivity. In order to further reduce the thermal conductivity, we designed a hierarchical nanostructure assembled with well-aligned Bi2Te3 nanoplates using Te nanotubes as templates by a facile microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis. From the comparisons of their thermoelectric performance and theoretical calculations with simple Bi2Te3 nanostructures, we found that Te/Bi2Te3 hierarchical nanostructures exhibit a higher figure-of-merit due to the optimized reduced Fermi level and enhanced phonon scattering, as well as the suppressed bipolar conduction. This study provides an effective approach to enhance the thermoelectric performance of Bi2Te3-based nanostructures by rationally designing the nanostructures.
