Yb0. 4Co4Sb12, being a well-studied system, has shown notably high thermoelectric
performance due to the Yb filler atom-driven large concentration of charge carriers and …

Nanocomposites have become a widely popular way to assist in the enhancement of
thermoelectric performance for filled skutterudites. Herein, we unveil the distinctive effect of …

Previous results indicated that acceptor doping was considered an effective clue to
substantially suppress electronic thermal conductivity and in the meanwhile hold a rather …

Although introducing more fillers in nanocages is beneficial to gain low lattice thermal
conductivity within filling fraction limit, accompanying high electronic thermal conductivity …

Void-filling in the CoSb 3 skutterudite lattice with different kinds of heavy elements has

The influence of various fillers R (R= Sr, La, Mm, DD, SrMm, SrDD with Mm standing for
mischmetal and DD for didymium) on the physical properties of the triple-and multifilled n …

The utilization of thermoelectric devices that directly convert waste heat to electricity is an
effective approach to alleviate the global energy crisis. However, the low efficiency of …

A synthetic route was introduced to speed up the preparation of high performance
nanostructured Yb 0.3 Co 4 Sb 12+ y (⁠ y= 0.3 and 0.6) compounds. Compared with the …

The single-filled skutterudite Yb0. 2Co4Sb12 has been long known as a promising bulk
thermoelectric material. In this work, we adopted a melting–milling–hot pressing procedure …
