Although GeTe has been known as thermoelectrics since 1960s, it has attracted intensive
renewed attention recently. GeTe undergoes a phase transition from a high-T cubic (c-GeTe) …

Due to the nature of their liquid‐like behavior and high dimensionless figure of merit, Cu2X
(X= Te, Se, and S)‐based thermoelectric materials have attracted extensive attention. The …

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

Band engineering is an effective strategy to improve the electronic transport properties of
semiconductors. In thermoelectric materials research, density‐of‐states effective mass is an …

In the past years, various work has been devoted to improving the thermoelectric figure of
merit zT, and remarkable advances have been achieved. In 2019, an abnormal zT value …

GeTe-Based materials have great potential to be used in thermoelectric generators for waste
heat recovery due to their excellent thermoelectric performance, but their module research is …

The single parabolic band (SPB) model has been widely used to preliminarily elucidate
inherent transport behaviors of thermoelectric (TE) materials, such as their band structure …

Thermoelectric materials transform a thermal gradient into electricity. The efficiency of this
process relies on three material-dependent parameters: the Seebeck coefficient, the …

Band convergence is an important approach for improving the thermoelectric performance,
as it can significantly increase the Seebeck coefficient without obviously sacrificing the …

Zintl compounds make excellent thermoelectrics with many opportunities for chemically
tuning their electronic and thermal transport properties. However, the majority of Zintl …
