Metal sulfide Ag2S is an attractive semiconductor due to its excellent physical and chemical property that enable it with wide applications in fields of catalysis, sensing, optoelectronics in past years. In present work, Ø18 mm× 50 mm Ag2S ingot was successfully prepared using zone melting method and its potential thermoelectric (TE) behavior was investigated. Ag2S has standard monoclinic P21/c space group (α-Ag2S phase) below 450 K and will transfer to cubic structure (β-Ag2S phase) over this temperature. Ag2S is a n-type semiconductor as the Seebeck coefficient S is always negative due to the Ag interstitial ions in the material that can provide additional electrons.The S value is about -1200 µV• K -1 near room temperature and will decline to -680 µV • K -1 at 440 K and finally decreases to ~-100 µV • K -1 at β-Ag2S state. The electrical conductivity σ of α-Ag2S is almost zero. However, the value sharply jumps to ~40000.5 S• m -1 as the material just changes to β-Ag2S and then gradually deceases to 33256.2 S• m -1 at 650 K. Hall measurement demonstrates the carrier concentration nH of Ag2S is suddenly increased from the level of ~10 17 cm -3 to ~10 18 cm -3 during phase transition. The total thermal conductivity κ of α-Ag2S is ~0.20 W• m -1 • K -1 and the value is ~0.45 W• m -1 • K -1 to β-Ag2S. Ultimately, a maximum ZT= 0.57 is achieved around 580 K that means Ag2S might be a promising middle-temperature TE material.
