Ternary Bi<sub>2sub>(Te<sub>1−xsub>Se<sub>xsub>)<sub>3sub> nanosheets were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method.
The ternary Bi<sub>2sub>(Te<sub>1−xsub>Se<sub>xsub>)<sub>3sub> nanosheets have the thickness down to several nanometers.
The growth of the nanosheets is addressed by a molecular template mechanism.
