text: Developing cost-effective and high-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials
to assemble efficient TE devices presents a multitude of challenges and opportunities.
Cu3SbSe4 is a promising p-type TE material based on relatively earth abundant
elements. However, the challenge lies in its poor electrical conductivity. Herein,
an efficient and scalable solution-based approach is developed to synthesize high-quality
Cu3SbSe4 nanocrystals doped with Pb at the Sb site. After ligand displacement
and annealing treatments, the dried powders are consolidated into dense pellets,
and their TE properties are investigated. Pb doping effectively increases the
charge carrier concentration, resulting in a significant increase in electrical
conductivity, while the Seebeck coefficients remain consistently high. The calculated
band structure shows that Pb doping induces band convergence, thereby increasing
the effective mass. Furthermore, the large ionic radius of Pb2+ results in the
generation of additional point and plane defects and interphases, dramatically
enhancing phonon scattering, which significantly decreases the lattice thermal
conductivity at high temperatures. Overall, a maximum figure of merit (zTmax)
≈ 0.85 at 653 K is obtained in Cu3Sb0.97Pb0.03Se4. This represents a 1.6-fold
increase compared to the undoped sample and exceeds most doped Cu3SbSe4-based
materials produced by solid-state, demonstrating advantages of versatility and
cost-effectiveness using a solution-based technology.

text: AgSbSe2 is a promising thermoelectric (TE) p-type material for applications
in the middle-temperature range. AgSbSe2 is characterized by relatively low thermal
conductivities and high Seebeck coefficients, but its main limitation is moderate
electrical conductivity. Herein, we detail an efficient and scalable hot-injection
synthesis route to produce AgSbSe2 nanocrystals (NCs). To increase the carrier
concentration and improve the electrical conductivity, these NCs are doped with
Sn2+ on Sb3+ sites. Upon processing, the Sn2+ chemical state is conserved using
a reducing NaBH4 solution to displace the organic ligand and anneal the material
under a forming gas flow. The TE properties of the dense materials obtained from
the consolidation of the NCs using a hot pressing are then characterized. The
presence of Sn2+ ions replacing Sb3+ significantly increases the charge carrier
concentration and, consequently, the electrical conductivity. Opportunely, the
measured Seebeck coefficient varied within a small range upon Sn doping. The excellent
performance obtained when Sn2+ ions are prevented from oxidation is rationalized
by modeling the system. Calculated band structures disclosed that Sn doping induces
convergence of the AgSbSe2 valence bands, accounting for an enhanced electronic
effective mass. The dramatically enhanced carrier transport leads to a maximized
power factor for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 of 0.63 mW m–1 K–2 at 640 K. Thermally, phonon
scattering is significantly enhanced in the NC-based materials, yielding an ultralow
thermal conductivity of 0.3 W mK–1 at 666 K. Overall, a record-high figure of
merit (zT) is obtained at 666 K for AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 at zT = 1.37, well above
the values obtained for undoped AgSbSe2, at zT = 0.58 and state-of-art Pb- and
Te-free materials, which makes AgSb0.98Sn0.02Se2 an excellent p-type candidate
for medium-temperature TE applications.

text: Cu2–xS and Cu2–xSe have recently been reported as promising thermoelectric
(TE) materials for medium-temperature applications. In contrast, Cu2–xTe, another
member of the copper chalcogenide family, typically exhibits low Seebeck coefficients
that limit its potential to achieve a superior thermoelectric figure of merit,
zT, particularly in the low-temperature range where this material could be effective.
To address this, we investigated the TE performance of Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites
by consolidating surface-engineered Cu1.5Te nanocrystals. This surface engineering
strategy allows for precise adjustment of Cu/Te ratios and results in a reversible
phase transition at around 600 K in Cu1.5–xTe–Cu2Se nanocomposites, as systematically
confirmed by in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction combined with differential
scanning calorimetry analysis. The phase transition leads to a conversion from
metallic-like to semiconducting-like TE properties. Additionally, a layer of Cu2Se
generated around Cu1.5–xTe nanoparticles effectively inhibits Cu1.5–xTe grain
growth, minimizing thermal conductivity and decreasing hole concentration. These
properties indicate that copper telluride based compounds have a promising thermoelectric
potential, translated into a high dimensionless zT of 1.3 at 560 K.

text: 'The broad implementation of thermoelectricity requires high-performance and
low-cost materials. One possibility is employing surfactant-free solution synthesis
to produce nanopowders. We propose the strategy of functionalizing “naked” particles’
surface by inorganic molecules to control the nanostructure and, consequently,
thermoelectric performance. In particular, we use bismuth thiolates to functionalize
surfactant-free SnTe particles’ surfaces. Upon thermal processing, bismuth thiolates
decomposition renders SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites with synergistic functions: 1)
carrier concentration optimization by Bi doping; 2) Seebeck coefficient enhancement
and bipolar effect suppression by energy filtering; and 3) lattice thermal conductivity
reduction by small grain domains, grain boundaries and nanostructuration. Overall,
the SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites exhibit peak z T up to 1.3 at 873 K and an average
z T of ≈0.6 at 300–873 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed
SnTe.'

text: SnSe has emerged as one of the most promising materials for thermoelectric
energy conversion due to its extraordinary performance in its single-crystal form
and its low-cost constituent elements. However, to achieve an economic impact,
the polycrystalline counterpart needs to replicate the performance of the single
crystal. Herein, we optimize the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline
SnSe produced by consolidating solution-processed and surface-engineered SnSe
particles. In particular, the SnSe particles are coated with CdSe molecular complexes
that crystallize during the sintering process, forming CdSe nanoparticles. The
presence of CdSe nanoparticles inhibits SnSe grain growth during the consolidation
step due to Zener pinning, yielding a material with a high density of grain boundaries.
Moreover, the resulting SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites present a large number of defects
at different length scales, which significantly reduce the thermal conductivity.
The produced SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites exhibit thermoelectric figures of merit
up to 2.2 at 786 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed
SnSe.

text: A versatile, scalable, room temperature and surfactant-free route for the
synthesis of metal chalcogenide nanoparticles in aqueous solution is detailed
here for the production of PbS and Cu-doped PbS nanoparticles. Subsequently, nanoparticles
are annealed in a reducing atmosphere to remove surface oxide, and consolidated
into dense polycrystalline materials by means of spark plasma sintering. By characterizing
the transport properties of the sintered material, we observe the annealing step
and the incorporation of Cu to play a key role in promoting the thermoelectric
performance of PbS. The presence of Cu allows improving the electrical conductivity
by increasing the charge carrier concentration and simultaneously maintaining
a large charge carrier mobility, which overall translates into record power factors
at ambient temperature, 2.3 mWm-1K−2. Simultaneously, the lattice thermal conductivity
decreases with the introduction of Cu, leading to a record high ZT = 0.37 at room
temperature and ZT = 1.22 at 773 K. Besides, a record average ZTave = 0.76 is
demonstrated in the temperature range 320–773 K for n-type Pb0.955Cu0.045S.

text: Thermoelectric materials are engines that convert heat into an electrical
current. Intuitively, the efficiency of this process depends on how many electrons
(charge carriers) can move and how easily they do so, how much energy those moving
electrons transport, and how easily the temperature gradient is maintained. In
terms of material properties, an excellent thermoelectric material requires a
high electrical conductivity σ, a high Seebeck coefficient S (a measure of the
induced thermoelectric voltage as a function of temperature gradient), and a low
thermal conductivity κ. The challenge is that these three properties are strongly
interrelated in a conflicting manner (1). On page 722 of this issue, Roychowdhury
et al. (2) have found a way to partially break these ties in silver antimony telluride
(AgSbTe2) with the addition of cadmium (Cd) cations, which increase the ordering
in this inherently disordered thermoelectric material.

text: The cost-effective conversion of low-grade heat into electricity using thermoelectric
devices requires developing alternative materials and material processing technologies
able to reduce the currently high device manufacturing costs. In this direction,
thermoelectric materials that do not rely on rare or toxic elements such as tellurium
or lead need to be produced using high-throughput technologies not involving high
temperatures and long processes. Bi2Se3 is an obvious possible Te-free alternative
to Bi2Te3 for ambient temperature thermoelectric applications, but its performance
is still low for practical applications, and additional efforts toward finding
proper dopants are required. Here, we report a scalable method to produce Bi2Se3
nanosheets at low synthesis temperatures. We studied the influence of different
dopants on the thermoelectric properties of this material. Among the elements
tested, we demonstrated that Sn doping resulted in the best performance. Sn incorporation
resulted in a significant improvement to the Bi2Se3 Seebeck coefficient and a
reduction in the thermal conductivity in the direction of the hot-press axis,
resulting in an overall 60% improvement in the thermoelectric figure of merit
of Bi2Se3.

text: Cesium lead halides have intrinsically unstable crystal lattices and easily
transform within perovskite and nonperovskite structures. In this work, we explore
the conversion of the perovskite CsPbBr3 into Cs4PbBr6 in the presence of PbS
at 450 °C to produce doped nanocrystal-based composites with embedded Cs4PbBr6
nanoprecipitates. We show that PbBr2 is extracted from CsPbBr3 and diffuses into
the PbS lattice with a consequent increase in the concentration of free charge
carriers. This new doping strategy enables the adjustment of the density of charge
carriers between 1019 and 1020 cm–3, and it may serve as a general strategy for
doping other nanocrystal-based semiconductors.

text: 'The precise engineering of thermoelectric materials using nanocrystals as
their building blocks has proven to be an excellent strategy to increase energy
conversion efficiency. Here we present a synthetic route to produce Sb-doped PbS
colloidal nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are then consolidated into nanocrystalline
PbS:Sb using spark plasma sintering. We demonstrate that the introduction of Sb
significantly influences the size, geometry, crystal lattice and especially the
carrier concentration of PbS. The increase of charge carrier concentration achieved
with the introduction of Sb translates into an increase of the electrical and
thermal conductivities and a decrease of the Seebeck coefficient. Overall, PbS:Sb
nanomaterial were characterized by two-fold higher thermoelectric figures of merit
than undoped PbS. '

text: Cu2–xS has become one of the most promising thermoelectric materials for application
in the middle-high temperature range. Its advantages include the abundance, low
cost, and safety of its elements and a high performance at relatively elevated
temperatures. However, stability issues limit its operation current and temperature,
thus calling for the optimization of the material performance in the middle temperature
range. Here, we present a synthetic protocol for large scale production of covellite
CuS nanoparticles at ambient temperature and atmosphere, and using water as a
solvent. The crystal phase and stoichiometry of the particles are afterward tuned
through an annealing process at a moderate temperature under inert or reducing
atmosphere. While annealing under argon results in Cu1.8S nanopowder with a rhombohedral
crystal phase, annealing in an atmosphere containing hydrogen leads to tetragonal
Cu1.96S. High temperature X-ray diffraction analysis shows the material annealed
in argon to transform to the cubic phase at ca. 400 K, while the material annealed
in the presence of hydrogen undergoes two phase transitions, first to hexagonal
and then to the cubic structure. The annealing atmosphere, temperature, and time
allow adjustment of the density of copper vacancies and thus tuning of the charge
carrier concentration and material transport properties. In this direction, the
material annealed under Ar is characterized by higher electrical conductivities
but lower Seebeck coefficients than the material annealed in the presence of hydrogen.
By optimizing the charge carrier concentration through the annealing time, Cu2–xS
with record figures of merit in the middle temperature range, up to 1.41 at 710
K, is obtained. We finally demonstrate that this strategy, based on a low-cost
and scalable solution synthesis process, is also suitable for the production of
high performance Cu2–xS layers using high throughput and cost-effective printing
technologies.

text: The high processing cost, poor mechanical properties and moderate performance
of Bi2Te3–based alloys used in thermoelectric devices limit the cost-effectiveness
of this energy conversion technology. Towards solving these current challenges,
in the present work, we detail a low temperature solution-based approach to produce
Bi2Te3-Cu2-xTe nanocomposites with improved thermoelectric performance. Our approach
consists in combining proper ratios of colloidal nanoparticles and to consolidate
the resulting mixture into nanocomposites using a hot press. The transport properties
of the nanocomposites are characterized and compared with those of pure Bi2Te3
nanomaterials obtained following the same procedure. In contrast with most previous
works, the presence of Cu2-xTe nanodomains does not result in a significant reduction
of the lattice thermal conductivity of the reference Bi2Te3 nanomaterial, which
is already very low. However, the introduction of Cu2-xTe yields a nearly threefold
increase of the power factor associated to a simultaneous increase of the Seebeck
coefficient and electrical conductivity at temperatures above 400 K. Taking into
account the band alignment of the two materials, we rationalize this increase
by considering that Cu2-xTe nanostructures, with a relatively low electron affinity,
are able to inject electrons into Bi2Te3, enhancing in this way its electrical
conductivity. The simultaneous increase of the Seebeck coefficient is related
to the energy filtering of charge carriers at energy barriers within Bi2Te3 domains
associated with the accumulation of electrons in regions nearby a Cu2-xTe/Bi2Te3
heterojunction. Overall, with the incorporation of a proper amount of Cu2-xTe
nanoparticles, we demonstrate a 250% improvement of the thermoelectric figure
of merit of Bi2Te3.

text: Copper chalcogenides are outstanding thermoelectric materials for applications
in the medium-high temperature range. Among different chalcogenides, while Cu2−xSe
is characterized by higher thermoelectric figures of merit, Cu2−xS provides advantages
in terms of low cost and element abundance. In the present work, we investigate
the effect of different dopants to enhance the Cu2−xS performance and also its
thermal stability. Among the tested options, Pb-doped Cu2−xS shows the highest
improvement in stability against sulfur volatilization. Additionally, Pb incorporation
allows tuning charge carrier concentration, which enables a significant improvement
of the power factor. We demonstrate here that the introduction of an optimal additive
amount of just 0.3% results in a threefold increase of the power factor in the
middle-temperature range (500–800 K) and a record dimensionless thermoelectric
figure of merit above 2 at 880 K.

text: Solution synthesis of particles emerged as an alternative to prepare thermoelectric
materials with less demanding processing conditions than conventional solid-state
synthetic methods. However, solution synthesis generally involves the presence
of additional molecules or ions belonging to the precursors or added to enable
solubility and/or regulate nucleation and growth. These molecules or ions can
end up in the particles as surface adsorbates and interfere in the material properties.
This work demonstrates that ionic adsorbates, in particular Na⁺ ions, are electrostatically
adsorbed in SnSe particles synthesized in water and play a crucial role not only
in directing the material nano/microstructure but also in determining the transport
properties of the consolidated material. In dense pellets prepared by sintering
SnSe particles, Na remains within the crystal lattice as dopant, in dislocations,
precipitates, and forming grain boundary complexions. These results highlight
the importance of considering all the possible unintentional impurities to establish
proper structure-property relationships and control material properties in solution-processed
thermoelectric materials.

text: Composite materials offer numerous advantages in a wide range of applications,
including thermoelectrics. Here, semiconductor–metal composites are produced by
just blending nanoparticles of a sulfide semiconductor obtained in aqueous solution
and at room temperature with a metallic Cu powder. The obtained blend is annealed
in a reducing atmosphere and afterward consolidated into dense polycrystalline
pellets through spark plasma sintering (SPS). We observe that, during the annealing
process, the presence of metallic copper activates a partial reduction of the
PbS, resulting in the formation of PbS–Pb–CuxS composites. The presence of metallic
lead during the SPS process habilitates the liquid-phase sintering of the composite.
Besides, by comparing the transport properties of PbS, the PbS–Pb–CuxS composites,
and PbS–CuxS composites obtained by blending PbS and CuxS nanoparticles, we demonstrate
that the presence of metallic lead decisively contributes to a strong increase
of the charge carrier concentration through spillover of charge carriers enabled
by the low work function of lead. The increase in charge carrier concentration
translates into much higher electrical conductivities and moderately lower Seebeck
coefficients. These properties translate into power factors up to 2.1 mW m–1 K–2
at ambient temperature, well above those of PbS and PbS + CuxS. Additionally,
the presence of multiple phases in the final composite results in a notable decrease
in the lattice thermal conductivity. Overall, the introduction of metallic copper
in the initial blend results in a significant improvement of the thermoelectric
performance of PbS, reaching a dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT
= 1.1 at 750 K, which represents about a 400% increase over bare PbS. Besides,
an average ZTave = 0.72 in the temperature range 320–773 K is demonstrated.

text: In the present work, we report a solution-based strategy to produce crystallographically
textured SnSe bulk nanomaterials and printed layers with optimized thermoelectric
performance in the direction normal to the substrate. Our strategy is based on
the formulation of a molecular precursor that can be continuously decomposed to
produce a SnSe powder or printed into predefined patterns. The precursor formulation
and decomposition conditions are optimized to produce pure phase 2D SnSe nanoplates.
The printed layer and the bulk material obtained after hot press displays a clear
preferential orientation of the crystallographic domains, resulting in an ultralow
thermal conductivity of 0.55 W m–1 K–1 in the direction normal to the substrate.
Such textured nanomaterials present highly anisotropic properties with the best
thermoelectric performance in plane, i.e., in the directions parallel to the substrate,
which coincide with the crystallographic bc plane of SnSe. This is an unfortunate
characteristic because thermoelectric devices are designed to create/harvest temperature
gradients in the direction normal to the substrate. We further demonstrate that
this limitation can be overcome with the introduction of small amounts of tellurium
in the precursor. The presence of tellurium allows one to reduce the band gap
and increase both the charge carrier concentration and the mobility, especially
the cross plane, with a minimal decrease of the Seebeck coefficient. These effects
translate into record out of plane ZT values at 800 K.

text: "Appropriately designed nanocomposites allow improving the thermoelectric
performance by several mechanisms, including phonon scattering, modulation doping
and energy filtering, while additionally promoting better mechanical properties
than those of crystalline materials. Here, a strategy for producing Bi2Te3–Cu2xTe
nanocomposites based on the consolidation of heterostructured nanoparticles is
described and the thermoelectric properties of the obtained materials are investigated.
We first detail a two-step solution-based process to produce Bi2Te3–Cu2xTe heteronanostructures,
based on the growth of Cu2xTe nanocrystals on the surface of Bi2Te3 nanowires.
We characterize the structural and chemical properties of the synthesized nanostructures
and of the nanocomposites\r\nproduced by hot-pressing the particles at moderate
temperatures. Besides, the transport properties of the nanocomposites are investigated
as a function of the amount of Cu introduced. Overall, the presence of Cu decreases
the material thermal conductivity through promotion of phonon scattering, modulates
the charge carrier concentration through electron spillover, and increases the
Seebeck coefficient through filtering of charge carriers at energy barriers. These
effects result in an improvement of over 50% of the thermoelectric figure of merit
of Bi2Te3."

text: Nanomaterials produced from the bottom-up assembly of nanocrystals may incorporate
∼1020–1021 cm–3 not fully coordinated surface atoms, i.e., ∼1020–1021 cm–3 potential
donor or acceptor states that can strongly affect transport properties. Therefore,
to exploit the full potential of nanocrystal building blocks to produce functional
nanomaterials and thin films, a proper control of their surface chemistry is required.
Here, we analyze how the ligand stripping procedure influences the charge and
heat transport properties of sintered PbSe nanomaterials produced from the bottom-up
assembly of colloidal PbSe nanocrystals. First, we show that the removal of the
native organic ligands by thermal decomposition in an inert atmosphere leaves
relatively large amounts of carbon at the crystal interfaces. This carbon blocks
crystal growth during consolidation and at the same time hampers charge and heat
transport through the final nanomaterial. Second, we demonstrate that, by stripping
ligands from the nanocrystal surface before consolidation, nanomaterials with
larger crystal domains, lower porosity, and higher charge carrier concentrations
are obtained, thus resulting in nanomaterials with higher electrical and thermal
conductivities. In addition, the ligand displacement leaves the nanocrystal surface
unprotected, facilitating oxidation and chalcogen evaporation. The influence of
the ligand displacement on the nanomaterial charge transport properties is rationalized
here using a two-band model based on the standard Boltzmann transport equation
with the relaxation time approximation. Finally, we present an application of
the produced functional nanomaterials by modeling, fabricating, and testing a
simple PbSe-based thermoelectric device with a ring geometry.

text: Methodologies that involve the use of nanoparticles as “artificial atoms”
to rationally build materials in a bottom-up fashion are particularly well-suited
to control the matter at the nanoscale. Colloidal synthetic routes allow for an
exquisite control over such “artificial atoms” in terms of size, shape, and crystal
phase as well as core and surface compositions. We present here a bottom-up approach
to produce Pb–Ag–K–S–Te nanocomposites, which is a highly promising system for
thermoelectric energy conversion. First, we developed a high-yield and scalable
colloidal synthesis route to uniform lead sulfide (PbS) nanorods, whose tips are
made of silver sulfide (Ag2S). We then took advantage of the large surface-to-volume
ratio to introduce a p-type dopant (K) by replacing native organic ligands with
K2Te. Upon thermal consolidation, K2Te-surface modified PbS–Ag2S nanorods yield
p-type doped nanocomposites with PbTe and PbS as major phases and Ag2S and Ag2Te
as embedded nanoinclusions. Thermoelectric characterization of such consolidated
nanosolids showed a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit of 1 at 620 K.

text: The bottom-up assembly of colloidal nanocrystals is a versatile methodology
to produce composite nanomaterials with precisely tuned electronic properties.
Beyond the synthetic control over crystal domain size, shape, crystal phase, and
composition, solution-processed nanocrystals allow exquisite surface engineering.
This provides additional means to modulate the nanomaterial characteristics and
particularly its electronic transport properties. For instance, inorganic surface
ligands can be used to tune the type and concentration of majority carriers or
to modify the electronic band structure. Herein, we report the thermoelectric
properties of SnTe nanocomposites obtained from the consolidation of surface-engineered
SnTe nanocrystals into macroscopic pellets. A CdSe-based ligand is selected to
(i) converge the light and heavy bands through partial Cd alloying and (ii) generate
CdSe nanoinclusions as a secondary phase within the SnTe matrix, thereby reducing
the thermal conductivity. These SnTe-CdSe nanocomposites possess thermoelectric
figures of merit of up to 1.3 at 850 K, which is, to the best of our knowledge,
the highest thermoelectric figure of merit reported for solution-processed SnTe.
