Half-Heusler compounds based on XNiSn and XCoSb (X= Ti, Zr or Hf) have rapidly become
important thermoelectric materials for converting waste heat into electricity. In this Review …

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

Half-Heusler thermoelectrics first attracted interest in the late-1990s and are currently
undergoing a renaissance. This has been driven by improved synthesis, processing and …

Using first-principles DFT we systematically investigate the thermodynamic stability and off-
stoichiometry in 108 nominal 19-electron half-Heusler (hH) compounds. We demonstrate …

From phase boundary mapping, we find that the thermoelectric TiNiSn half-Heusler phase
shows a narrow solubility range on the Ti–Ni–Sn phase diagram primarily in the range of …

The large carbon footprint created during the production of conventional power by using
coal and the exhaust of gasoline engines marks climate change as one of the world's most …

Half-Heusler alloys are among the most promising thermoelectric materials. In the present
review, thermoelectric properties (at 300 K and 800 K) of more than 1100 compositions from …

The full-Heusler (FH) inclusions in the half-Heusler (HH) matrix is a well-studied approach to
reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of ZrNiSn HH alloy. However, excess Ni in ZrNiSn …
