Mg2Si nanosheet bundle (NSB) powders were synthesized by thermal annealing of CaSi2 crystal powders using Mg melt, molten MgCl2 and related salt mixture, as well as Mg-MgCl2 vapor phase synthesis. The compositional, structural, and thermoelectrical characteristics of the NSB powders were examined. The results suggest that the Mg2Si NSB powders synthesized using Mg melt and molten MgCl2-CaCl2 mixture yield a more uniform distribution of NSBs with higher electrical conductivity due to suppression of Mg deficiency.
