“…[23] Additionally, organic TE materials as well as inorganic-organic TE composites can also diversify the potential applications of thin-film TE devices. [24][25][26] To improve TE properties and design better TE films, many methods have been developed, such as vacuum evaporation, [27] sputtering, [28,29] pulsed laser deposition, [30] screen printing, [31] molecular beam epitaxy, [32] atomic layer deposition, [33] electrodeposition, [34,35] and so on. More importantly, tuning the carrier concentration, engineering the band structure, and suppressing the lattice thermal conductivity have also been considered to optimize the electrical and thermal transport of the films in essence.…”
