developed for the straightforward synthesis of single‐phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates
in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {011} edge
facets. Hot‐pressed nanostructured compacts (Eg≈ 0.85 eV) exhibit excellent electrical
conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (S2σ) at 550 K. S2σ values are 8‐fold higher
than equivalent materials prepared using citric acid as a structure‐directing agent, and …
