Thermoelectric materials by using two-dimensional materials with negative correlation between electrical and thermal conductivity

The improvement of the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT has been hindered by the challenges associated with the independent control of the electrical and thermal conductivity. Here the authors show that SnS2nanosheets can lead to an increased ZT via negative correlation between electrical and therm...
