A TiS 2 crystal with a layered structure was found to have a large thermoelectric power factor. The in-plane power factor S 2 /ρ at 300 K is 37.1 µW/K 2 cm with resistivity (ρ) of 1.7 mΩcm and thermopower (S) of -251 µV/K, and this value is comparable to that of the best thermoelectric material, Bi 2 Te 3 alloy.The electrical resistivity shows both metallic and highly anisotropic behaviors, suggesting that the electronic structure of this TiS 2 crystal has a quasi-twodimensional nature. The large thermoelectric response can be ascribed to the large density of state just above the Fermi energy and inter-valley scattering.In spite of the large power factor, the figure of merit, ZT of TiS 2 is 0.16 at 300 K, because of relatively large thermal conductivity, 68 mW/Kcm. However, most of this value comes from reducible lattice contribution. Thus, ZT can be improved by reducing lattice thermal conductivity, e.g., by introducing a rattling unit into the inter-layer sites.
