Bi 2 Te 3 is one of the most promising thermoelectric (TE) materials. Effect of doping to
decouple the electrical and thermal properties has been studied over a long decade. Here …

The Bi2Te3-based alloy is the best commercial thermoelectric material around room
temperature, although it is extremely difficult to further improve its thermoelectric …

Bi2Te3-based alloys are widely utilized in Peltier coolers owing to their highest
thermoelectric performance at near-room-temperatures. However, their peak dimensionless …

To improve the thermoelectric properties of a material, the carrier concentration needs to be
optimized first. But the increase of carrier concentration usually results in degraded carrier …

Abstract Hybrid nanoparticles, fullerene (C 60) and polyaniline (PANI), were incorporated
into the polydivinylbenzene (PDVB), and their decoupling effect of electrical and thermal …

In order to clarify the doping influence of different donor dopants (Co, Mn, and Te) in Mg 3
Sb 1.5 Bi 0.5 crystals, defect formation energy and electronic structures are successfully …

Lead telluride (PbTe) has long been considered as an ideal p-type thermoelectric material at
an intermediate temperature range. However, the relatively low thermoelectric performance …

Some studies have shown that the performance of Mg 3 Sb 1.5 Bi 0.5 alloys can further be
optimized through donor doping. Accordingly, the first-principles calculations and directional …

Carbon nanotubes and amorphous carbon have been introduced into a bismuth telluride
