This article provides a comprehensive review on GeTe-based materials, covering the fundamental analysis, fabrication methods, strategies for enhancing electronic transports and strengthening phonon scatterings, device assembly and performance, as well as future research directions. It highlights the high figure of merit and energy conversion efficiency of GeTe materials, and proposes insights for the development of broader thermoelectric materials.
Driven by the intensive efforts in the development of high-performance GeTe thermoelectrics for mass-market application in power generation and refrigeration, GeTe-based materials display a high figure of merit of >2.0 and an energy conversion efficiency beyond 10%. However, a comprehensive review on GeTe, from fundamentals to devices, is still needed. In this regard, the latest progress on the state-of-the-art GeTe is timely reviewed. The phase transition, intrinsic high carrier concentration, and multiple band edges of GeTe are fundamentally analyzed from the perspectives of the native atomic orbital, chemical bonding, and lattice defects. Then, the fabrication methods are summarized with a focus on large-scale production. Afterward, the strategies for enhancing electronic transports of GeTe by energy filtering effect, resonance doping, band convergence, and Rashba band splitting, and the methods for strengthening phonon scatterings via nanoprecipitates, planar vacancies, and superlattices, are comprehensively reviewed. Besides, the device assembly and performance are highlighted. In the end, future research directions are concluded and proposed, which enlighten the development of broader thermoelectric materials.
