Anion exchanged Cl doping achieving band sharpening and low lattice thermal conductivity for improving thermoelectric performance in SnTe

Quanxin Yang et al.

Summary: Band structure modification by Cl doping can improve the thermoelectric performance of SnTe. While it reduces effective mass and introduces high carrier mobility, it also optimizes electrical conductivity but deteriorates the Seebeck coefficient. However, temperature-driven band convergence can help recover the Seebeck coefficient to a normal level, leading to an improved figure of merit ZT due to the high power factor.
