“…[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Despite those advantages, the thermali nstability of Zn 4 Sb 3 is the main factor responsible for limitingi ts practical application in TEG. [17,[28][29][30][31][32][33] Therefore, many studies have focused on the stability of Zn 4 Sb 3 under differentc onditions, for example in inert gas, [23,33,34] air, [34] static vacuum, [23] and dynamic vacuum. [23,35] In those works, various techniques fore xample, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), [23,33] high-temperature powder X-ray, [35] or high-temperature synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, [17,[28][29][30][31][32] were employed to understand the degradation rate of materials.…”
