Abstract:In composite materials of NaCl‐type Sn12Sb2Te15 with x equivalents of CdI2‐type NiTe2 (x = 0.2; 1; 2), both phases are stable from room temperature up to 500 °C without a significant extent of mutual doping. The thermoelectric properties of this model system, complemented by Hall measurements, show clear trends with increasing x. Both electrical and thermal conductivities increase significantly whilst Seebeck coefficients decrease due to an increase in charge carrier concentrations. The overall Figure of merit… Show more
