Thermoelectric generators, capable of directly converting heat into electricity, hold great
promise for tackling the ever-increasing energy sustainability issue. The thermoelectric …

As a key type of emerging thermoelectric material, tin telluride (SnTe) has received
extensive attention because of its low toxicity and eco‐friendly nature. The recent trend …

This paper presents tables of key thermoelectric properties, which define thermoelectric
conversion efficiency, for a wide range of inorganic materials. The twelve families of …

The deceptively simple material SnSe has surprised the scientific community by showing an
unexpectedly low thermal conductivity and high power factor and it has become a very …

Nanoprecipitation is a routine method to decrease the thermal conductivity for advancing
thermoelectric performance. However, the coarsening/Ostwald ripening of precipitates under …

We report a significant enhancement of the thermoelectric performance of p-type SnTe over
a broad temperature plateau with a peak ZT value of∼ 1.4 at 923 K through In/Cd codoping …

Thermoelectric research has witnessed groundbreaking progress over the past 15–20
years. The thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, a measure of the competition between …

We demonstrate a high solubility limit of> 9 mol% for MnTe alloying in SnTe. The electrical
conductivity of SnTe decreases gradually while the Seebeck coefficient increases …

SnTe, a lead-free rock-salt analogue of PbTe, having valence band structure similar to PbTe,
recently has attracted attention for thermoelectric heat to electricity generation. However …

Many efforts are recently devoted on improving thermoelectric SnTe as an environment—
friendly alternative to conventional PbTe and successful approaches include valence band …
