Abstract
Silver telluride, Ag2Te, was synthesized on various 2D templates of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and transition-metal dichalcogenides (WTe2 and VTe2) via hydrothermal synthesis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy revealed that Ag2Te was synthesized on the 2D templates under optimal synthesis conditions. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirmed that the structural phase transition of Ag2Te underwent endothermic and exothermic reactions at approximately 410 and 425 K, respectively. Among various metallic templates, a large amount of Ag2Te has been synthesized on strongly acidic CNT. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) revealed that the chemical state of the metallic support influenced the electronic structure of the as-grown Ag2Te on the metallic supports. Our findings demonstrated that the hybrid 2D catalysts with an appropriate 2D metallic template can be a promising strategy for achieving efficient catalysis.
