Balancing the anionic framework polarity for enhanced thermoelectric performance in YbMg2Sb2 Zintl compounds

1-2-2-type Zintl phase compound has aroused great interest for potential thermoelectric applications. However, YbMg2Sb2 is seldom studied due to the very low electrical conductivity resulting from the large difference in the electronegativity between Mg and Sb. In this paper, we adjust the covalentl...
