Extraordinary thermoelectric performance of NaBaBi with degenerate and highly non-parabolic bands compared to LiBaSb and Bi2Te3

Author(s):  
Enamul Haque

This article reports the extraordinary thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of NaBaBi: degenerate bands, instead of the valley degeneracy of Bi2Te3, highly non-parabolic bands, and low DOS near the Fermi level of NaBaBi lead to an extraordinary ZTisotropic ≈ 1.60 at 350 K.

Synergistic effect of Se-deficiency and CuI-doping significantly enhances the thermoelectric figure-of-merit of the n-type polycrystalline In4Se3-based materials via improving the power factor. With In4Se2.95(CuI)0.01, ZT = 1.34 at 723 K, the highest value obtained for Pb-free polycrystalline In4Se3-based materials to date.
