摘要
Significantly enhanced thermoelectric performance is achieved for eco-friendly SnTe by a coorperative effect between a dopant resonant energy level and interstitial defects. By manipulating the band structure through indium doping, the Seebeck coefficient is remarkably improved, leading to an enhanced power factor, with a high level of approximate to 29 mu W cm(-1) K-2 at 873 K. Lattice thermal conductivity is sharply reduced, approaching the amorphous limit, through the strong phonon scattering induced by multiple scales of Cu2Te nanoprecipitates, as well as Cu interstitials, leading to a high ZT value of approximate to 1.55 at 873 K.
