Driven by the intensive efforts in the development of high‐performance GeTe
thermoelectrics for mass‐market application in power generation and refrigeration, GeTe …

GeTe is a promising mid-temperature thermoelectric compound but inevitably contains
excessive Ge vacancies hindering its performance maximization. This work reveals that …

Thermoelectric technology generates electricity from waste heat, but one bottleneck for
wider use is the performance of thermoelectric materials. Manipulating the configurational …

PbSe-based thermoelectric materials exhibit promising ZT values at medium temperature,
but its near-room-temperature thermoelectric properties are overlooked, thus restricting its …

We stabilize multiscale defect structures involving interstitial Cu, displaced Pb and Se atoms
from the regular lattice points, dislocations prompted by scarce anion vacancies, and …

Since the first introduction of the organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite in the field of
optoelectronics, extraordinary progress in both the photoelectric-conversion-efficiency and …

Bismuth telluride is the working material for most Peltier cooling devices and thermoelectric
generators. This is because Bi2Te3 (or more precisely its alloys with Sb2Te3 for p‐type and …

We demonstrate that the thermoelectric properties of p-type chalcogenides can be effectively
improved by band convergence and hierarchical structure based on a high-entropy …

Thermoelectric (TE) materials have the capability of converting heat into electricity, which
can improve fuel efficiency, as well as providing robust alternative energy supply in multiple …
