CsBi4Te6: a new facile synthetic method and mid-temperature thermoelectric performance†
Abstract
CsBi4Te6 is one of the best performing low-temperature thermoelectric (TE) materials. However, it has not received worldwide intensive investigation due to the limitation of synthetic methods. Here we report a new facile approach by not using the reactive Cs metal and the mid-temperature TE properties have been studied for the first time.
