Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowires were deposited into porous alumina templates with 35 nm diameter pores by a pulsed-potential electrodeposition method. For growth at temperatures between 1 and 4 degrees C, the nanowires filled 93% of the pores of the template, and the growth fronts were uniform with nanowire lengths of similar to 62-68 mu m. There are over ten billion nanowires per square centimeter with aspect ratios approaching 2000:1. Samples were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron microprobe analysis. The crystalline nanowire arrays are highly oriented in the [110] direction, which is optimal for thermoelectric applications.
