Nanostructuring and High Thermoelectric Efficiency in p‐Type Ag(Pb1 – ySny)mSbTe2 + m

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: The p-type Ag(Pb1–ySny)mSbTe2+m materials shown in the figure demonstrate promising thermoelectric properties that are controlled with the parameters y and m. They can reach a maximum figure of merit of ∼ 1.45 at 630 K. This surpasses the figure of merit of the present state-of-the-art p-type materials such as TAGS (1.2) and PbTe (0.8) at comparable temperatures.
