Abstract N -type polycrystalline SnSe is considered as a highly promising candidates for thermoelectric applications due to facile processing, machinability, and scalability. However, existing efforts do not enable peak ZT value exceeding 2.0 in n SnSe. Here, we realized significant enhancement by leveraging the synergistic effects of divacancy defect introducing resonance level into conduction band. The increased density states resulting from tungsten boost Seebeck coefficient. combination...
Polycrystalline SnSe is considered as a highly promising candidate for thermoelectric applications due to its facile processing, machinability and scale-up applications.
Polycrystalline SnSe materials with ZT values comparable to those of crystals are greatly desired due facile processing, machinability, and scale-up application. Here manipulating interatomic force by harnessing lattice strains was proposed for achieving significantly reduced thermal conductivity in polycrystalline SnSe. Large static strain created dislocations stacking faults causes an effective shortening phonon relaxation time, resulting ultralow conductivity. A combination band...

Abstract SnTe is an emerging Pb‐free thermoelectric compound that has drawn significant attention for clean energy conversion. Chemical doping routinely used to tailor its charge carrier concentration and electronic band structures. However, the efficacy of dopants often limited by their small solubility. For example, only 0.5% Ag can be incorporated into matrix. Yet, significantly more (>7%) dissolved if alloyed with AgSbTe 2 . This large enhancement solubility understood from a chemical...
