The Seebeck effect in a material originates from the distribution of asymmetry electron transport under temperature gradient, which has contributions energy-dependent electronic density-of-states and carrier mobility. However, because energy dependence common scattering mechanisms is weak, mobility-driven coefficient long been ignored most thermoelectric materials, considered dominant contribution. In this work, we describe hopping behavior observed CuFeS2, large Hall mobility gradient...

The Cu2Se compound possesses extraordinary thermoelectric performance at high temperatures and shows great potential for the application of waste heat recycling. However, a device usually undergoes mechanical vibration, and/or thermal cycling, shock in service. Therefore, properties are equal importance as performance. stability during long-term service have rarely been reported. In this study, we systematically investigated compounds synthesized by three varied methods (melting (M),...

Lead telluride (PbTe) is one of the best thermoelectric materials in intermediate temperature range, which shows great potential for waste heat recycling. However, its low strength and high brittleness limit large-scale application because device usually undergoes mechanical vibration, and/or thermal cycling, shock service.
