As an inexpensive and earth abundant analogue of PbTe, PbSe has aroused growing
attention recently as advanced thermoelectric materials. In the present report, the effect of …

In this work, the thermoelectric performance of p-type PbSe was improved dramatically by
enhancing the Seebeck coefficient and reducing electronic thermal conductivity through …

PbSe is an inexpensive alternative for PbTe as a mid-temperature thermoelectric material,
but few investigations have been reported about its intrinsic properties despite recent efforts …

The n-type PbTe still maintains relatively low thermoelectric performance compared with its
p-type counterpart. Thus, to promote its performance in n-type PbTe, we conduct successive …

PbSe is an alternative of the well-known moderate-temperature thermoelectric material
PbTe, and has attracted much attention because of its advantages of high earth-abundance …

Among the intricately coupled thermoelectric parameters, carrier effective mass (m*) and
carrier density (n) are two key parameters to determine the electrical transport properties. To …

PbTe-based thermoelectric materials are considered to be a medium-temperature
thermoelectric candidates and the high-performance n-type PbTe is urgently to be …

Te-free PbS has been regarded as a promising alternative candidate for PbTe
thermoelectric materials due to its advances of low-cost, earth-abundant. In this work, we …

PbTe is a promising thermoelectric material, but the properties in n-type PbTe need further
improvement to match its advanced p-type material. In this work, the thermoelectric …

In this study, we prepared a series of Ag-doped PbSe bulk materials by a melting–
quenching process combined with a subsequent spark plasma sintering process, and …
