Transmission electron microscopy images of TeNWs. CHEM-TeNWs with a low degree of aggregation were found dispersed within the solution (A) and (B). GREEN-TeNWs (C and D) showed a higher degree of aggregation, and the presence of an organic coating was observed.
Abbreviations: CHEM-TeNWs, chemically synthesized TeNWs; GREEN-TeNWs, green-synthesized TeNWs; TeNWs, tellurium nanowires.
