Enhanced thermoelectric performance through grain boundary engineering in quaternary chalcogenide Cu2ZnSnSe4

Quaternary chalcogenide Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) is a promising wide band-gap p-type thermoelectric material. The structure and thermoelectric properties of lead substituted Cu2ZnSn1-xPbxSe4 are investigated. Lead primarily exists in the framework of PbSe as demonstrated by x-ray diffraction and calculati...
