Polycrystalline SnSe with a thermoelectric figure of merit greater than the single crystal
Nature Materials, 2021 Thermoelectric materials generate electric energy from waste heat, with conversion efficiency governed by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT. Single-crystal tin selenide (SnSe) was discovered to exhibit a high ZT of roughly 2.2–2.6 at 913 K, but more ...
