The development of flexible thermoelectric devices requires materials possessing ductility
and high thermoelectric performance at room temperature. However, only a few existing …

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can directly convert low-grade thermal energy into
electrical energy, possessing numerous benefits, including noise-free operation, pollution …

Inorganic semiconductors are often brittle at room temperature, but α-Ag 2 S was recently
observed to own extraordinary metal-like ductility and reversible pressure-induced …

In recent years, materials with metal-to-insulator phase transitions have attracted great
attention due to their property variations before and after the transition. As nearly all good …

The effect of uniaxial strain on structural and electronic properties of α-Ag 2 S are
investigated by using first-principles calculations. It is found that Ag–S bonds in α-Ag 2 S are …
