Enhanced thermoelectric performance of chalcogenide Cu2CdSnSe4 by ex-situ homogeneous nanoinclusions

Quaternary chalcogenide Cu2CdSnSe4 distributed with ex-situ homogeneous nanoinclusions has been synthesized by ball milling, followed by spark plasma sintering. The Cu2CdSnSe4 nanocrystallites with sizes ranging from 20 to 30 nm were prepared via colloidal synthesis, while the Cu2CdSnSe4 matrix was...
