Realizing high thermoelectric performance in GeTe by defect engineering on cation sites

Can Zhu et al.

Summary: GeTe-based thermoelectric materials have been optimized by simultaneous Ti/Bi co-doping and Ge self-doping. The Ti doping improves the effective mass and quality factor, while Ti/Bi co-doping reduces the carrier concentration. Ge deficiencies have a limited positive effect on thermal conductivity, but its negative influence on electronic transport properties outweighs it. Excessive Ge can further decrease carrier concentration, increase carrier mobility, and reduce thermal conductivity.
