A series of binary-doped CoSb3 with Te and Se/Sn bulk compounds Co4Sb[Formula: see text]TexSny/Sey ([Formula: see text] and 0.6, [Formula: see text] and 0.3), have been successfully prepared via a simple high pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) method. And, the influence of the doping elements on the microstructure of the samples synthesized under diverse pressures and the corresponding TE performance were studied in detail. Comparing with other preparation methods, the synthesis time of HPHT was acutely shortened. The obtained samples contain more grain boundaries, lattice disorder, dislocations and the possible “nanodot”, which have positive effect on reducing thermal conductivity. The experimental data indicate that the absolute values of Seebeck coefficient increases with pressure. What’s more, the thermal conductivities show a monotone decreasing trend as the synthesis pressure rises. The minimum value obtained is 1.93[Formula: see text]Wm[Formula: see text]K[Formula: see text] at normal temperature for Co4Sb[Formula: see text]Te[Formula: see text]Se[Formula: see text] prepared under 3[Formula: see text]GPa.

High-pressure technique is an effective route to synthesize thermoelectric materials and tune transport properties simultaneously. In this work, S-doped copper–selenium compounds [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] were successfully synthesized by high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) technology in just 30 min. [Formula: see text] samples show layered morphology composed of abundant pores and lattice defects. The appropriate S introduction ([Formula: see text] and 0.03) can effectively enhance Seebeck coefficient and reduce the thermal conductivity of [Formula: see text]. Compared with the pure [Formula: see text] sample, [Formula: see text] exhibits a 30% lower thermal conductivity, but the decline of power factor by the distinctly increased electrical resistivity at high temperature results in a smaller zT at temperature [Formula: see text] K. The variations of thermoelectric properties are resulted from the competitive effects between S-doping and actual composition change (Cu:S). It indicates that S-doping is not so effective in improving the zT value of [Formula: see text] materials by high-pressure synthesis.

Ba8Cu6Ge[Formula: see text]Si[Formula: see text] were successfully synthesized by a simple high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) method to investigate the microstructures and thermoelectric (TE) properties. After high pressure synthesis, a highly dense bulk material with lots of fine-layered structure, lattice defects and disorders has been obtained. As expected, the thermal conductivity decreased greatly and the ZT value has been improved significantly, which reaches up to 0.43 at around 773 K. Comparing with other methods, HPHT could shorten the synthesis time from several days to half an hour. It reveals that the HPHT method will become an effective approach for optimizing the TE performance of these materials.
