Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Insights and 3D Diffusion Pathways within the Lithium Superionic Conductor Li10GeP2S12
Dominik A. Weber,Anatoliy Senyshyn,Kai S. Weldert,Sebastian Wenzel,Wenbo Zhang,René Kaiser,Stefan Berendts,Jürgen Janek,Wolfgang G. Zeier +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present neutron powder diffraction data in combination with analyses of differential bond valence and nuclear density maps to elucidate the underlying diffusion pathways in Li10GeP2S12.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectric transport in Cu7PSe6 with high copper ionic mobility.
Kai S. Weldert,Wolfgang G. Zeier,Tristan Day,Martin Panthöfer,G. Jeffrey Snyder,Wolfgang Tremel +5 more
TL;DR: The thermoelectric transport properties of the compound Cu7PSe6 are presented as the first representative of the class of argyrodite-type ion conducting thermoeLECTrics, with a huge variety of possible compositions and high ionic conductivity even at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local Structural Investigations, Defect Formation, and Ionic Conductivity of the Lithium Ionic Conductor Li4P2S6
Christian Dietrich,Marcel Sadowski,Sabrina Sicolo,Dominik A. Weber,Stefan J. Sedlmaier,Kai S. Weldert,Sylvio Indris,Karsten Albe,Jürgen Janek,Jürgen Janek,Wolfgang G. Zeier +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined approach of Bragg diffraction, pair distribution function analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and 31P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis was presented to study the underlying crystal structure of Li4P2S6, showing that the material crystallizes in a planar structural arrangement as a glass ceramic composite.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Electron Mobility and Disorder Induced by Silver Ion Migration Lead to Good Thermoelectric Performance in the Argyrodite Ag8SiSe6
Barbara K. Heep,Kai S. Weldert,Yaşar Krysiak,Tristan W. Day,Wolfgang G. Zeier,Ute Kolb,G. Jeffrey Snyder,Wolfgang Tremel +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural and thermoelectric properties of the argyrodite Ag8SiSe6 have been investigated and shown to have promising performance close to room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Compensating Defect Formation on the Doping Efficiency and Thermoelectric Properties of Cu2-ySe1–xBrx
Tristan Day,Kai S. Weldert,Wolfgang G. Zeier,Bor-Rong Chen,Stephanie L. Moffitt,Ulrike Weis,Klaus Peter Jochum,Martin Panthöfer,Michael J. Bedzyk,G. Jeffrey Snyder,G. Jeffrey Snyder,Wolfgang Tremel +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of copper selenide to achieve a high figure of merit at room temperature, if the intrinsically high hole carrier concentration can be reduced using bromine as a dopant.
