TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline p-type SnSe, a material in which unprecedented values of the thermoclectric figure of merit ZT have been recently discovered in single crystals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the investigation of the transport properties of BiSb alloys and measured electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity in a direction perpendicular or parallel to the trigonal axis within the temperature range 4.2 - 300 K on various alloy compositions containing up to 18.2 at.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity have been measured on these compounds in the 300-800 K temperature range and they identified Ca as being a true n-type filler atom and offer, for this family of skutterudite, several valuable insights into the potential of Ca to provide good thermoelectric performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity have been measured between 4.2 and 300 K on three Bi1−xSbx alloys of different composition (x = 0.144, 0.165 and 0.181).

TL;DR: The mechanism in which glass-like thermal conductivity emerges in tetrahedrites, a family of natural minerals extensively studied in geology and, more recently, in thermoelectricity, is unveiled.
