High-symmetry thermoelectric materials usually have the advantage of very high band
degeneracy, while low-symmetry thermoelectrics have the advantage of very low lattice …

PbTe and SnTe in their p-type forms have long been considered high-performance
thermoelectrics, and both of them largely rely on two valence bands (the first band at L point …

GeTe-based alloys have been intensively considered as p-type thermoelectrics for about 50
years, yet existing literature barely discussed the thermoelectric properties of pristine GeTe …

As a typical (IV–VI) x (V 2 VI 3) y compound, the tetradymite-like layered SnSb 2 Te 4-based
compounds have attracted increasing attention in the thermoelectric community owing to the …

Ongoing research and development focus on emerging thermoelectric materials with
enhanced performance, continually making the possibility of waste heat recovery a reality. In …

Seeking a material with intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity is crucial for screening
high-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials. Here, the TE properties of SnSb 2 (Te 1− x …

In composite materials with nominal compositions Cu2Ge x Sb2Te x+ 4 (11≤ x≤ 18, ie,
between Cu6. 7Ge36. 7Sb6. 7Te50 and Cu4. 5Ge40. 9Sb4. 5Te50), precipitates consisting …

Separation of thermal conductivity (κ) into its electronic, lattice and other parts is of great
importance in understanding heat transport. Commonly, the Wiedemann–Franz relation is …

Ge-Sb-Te (GST) alloys have garnered considerable interest due to their rapid crystallization
rates, thermal stability, and reversible phase change. These characteristics make them …

Pseudo-binary layered compound ⅣVI-V 2 VI 3 families show great promise for application
in thermoelectrics. Herein, through introducing iodine in GeSb 2 Te 4, several synergistic …
