Abstract

Worthy of merit: The new class of nanostructured p-type thermoelectrics Na_1-xPb_mSb_yTe_m+2 is reported. The exceptionally high thermoelectric figures of merit ZT of these materials (see graph), which exceed those of the state-of-the-art materials PbTe and (GeTe)_1-x((Ag₂Te)_1-y-(Sb₂Te ₃)_y)_x (TAGS), derive from their very low lattice thermal conductivities. (Graph Presented)
