Zintl phases for thermoelectric devices [PDF]
Dalton Transactions, 2007 By converting waste heat into electricity and improving the efficiency of refrigeration systems, thermoelectric devices could play a significant role in solving today's energy problems. Increasing the thermoelectric efficiency (as measured by the thermoelectric material's figure-of-merit, zT) is critical to the development of this technology.

Improved figure of merit (z) at low temperatures for superior thermoelectric cooling in Mg3(Bi,Sb)2
Nature Communications, 2023 The low-temperature thermoelectric performance of Bi-rich n-type Mg3(Bi,Sb)2 was limited by the electron transport scattering at grain boundaries, while removing grain boundaries and bulk crystal growth of Mg-based Zintl phases are challenging due to the
