Electronic-structure engineering of GeTe:Zn doping enhances thermoelectric properties via synergy of resonance states, increase in band gap and hyper-convergence.
Extraordinary tuning of electronic structure of SnTe by Bi in the presence of Pb as a co-adjuvant dopant. Synergistic effect of resonance level, increase in the band gap, valence and conduction sub-bands convergence leads to enhanced TE performance.
The electronic structures of single atomic Ru (SA-Ru) were suitably optimized by nearby Ru NPs for boosting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over SA-Ru.
Resonance states due to Bi and In co-doping, band gap enlargement, and a reduced valence-band offset in SnTe lead to a record high room-temperature ZT.
