“…To further enhance the ZT of this optimally alloyed composition, doping with Cu, , Cd, Ag, , and Pb and nanostructuring via ball milling, ,,,, melt spinning, − and chemical synthesis , have been extensively carried out. Similarly, composite aspects of hybridization with nanoparticles (NPs) such as Bi, Sb 2 O 3 , SiC, ZnO, Zn 4 Sb 3 , PbSe, Y 2 O 3 , and SiO 2 were demonstrated for tuning the TE transport favorably.…”
