Boosting the Thermoelectric Performance of PbSe from the Band Convergence Driven By Spin-Orbit Coupling

Jianfeng Cai et al.

Summary: This study reports the improved thermoelectric performance of PbSe through the novel spin-orbit coupling effect. By alloying with NaSbSe2, valence band convergence and bandgap enlargement are achieved in PbSe, resulting in a significantly increased Seebeck coefficient. Introduction of Cd doping to decrease the carrier concentration leads to a high peak ZT and remarkable average ZT in Pb0.8Na0.1Sb0.08Cd0.02Se. Among high ZT PbSe-based compounds, the sample exhibits the highest Seebeck coefficient and lowest thermal conductivity. This study provides insights into band structure tuning of Lead chalcogenides and promotes a new strategy for optimizing thermoelectric performance.
