As an ideal candidate for PbTe, which maintains excellent performance at mid-temperature,
PbSe holds great application potential. In this work, based on an optimized dynamic doping …

Rich defects near the percolation threshold of dilute solid solutions are of fundamental
interest to thermoelectric research. Sn-substituted Pb0. 98Na0. 02Se (1 mol%) is a typical …

Introducing structural defects such as vacancies, nanoprecipitates, and dislocations is a
proven means of reducing lattice thermal conductivity. However, these defects tend to be …

PbSe-based thermoelectric materials exhibit promising ZT values at medium temperature,
but its near-room-temperature thermoelectric properties are overlooked, thus restricting its …

From a structural and economic perspective, tellurium-free PbSe can be an attractive
alternative to its more expensive isostructural analogue of PbTe for intermediate …

As an attractive tellurium-free thermoelectric material, PbSe-based materials have been
intensively studied for intermediate temperature power generation. Here we show that a …

The coupling relationship between electrical and thermal transports makes it rather
challenging to enhance thermoelectric performance. Here, electrical and thermal transports …

Cu substitution for Pb (CuPb) has been theoretically predicted to introduce resonant states
near the valence band edge of PbSe. However, experimentally, it has not been verified yet …

To date, thermoelectric performance has been enhanced through improving the power factor
and/or reducing the lattice thermal conductivity. Here, we report an effective method of …

Among mid-temperature thermoelectric materials, PbSe is deemed as a natural replacement
of PbTe owing to the much larger abundance of selenium than tellurium. Usually, extra Cu …
