High-performance p-type elemental Te thermoelectric materials enabled by the synergy of carrier tuning and phonon engineering

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, vol. 8, pp. 12156–12168

Abstract

An outstanding figure-of-merit zT ≈ 1.06 at 600 K for p-type elemental Te thermoelectrics is realized by synergistically tuning their carrier and phonon transport behaviors via a multicomponent alloying strategy.
