Approaching crystal’s limit of thermoelectrics by nano-sintering-aid at grain boundaries

Abstract Grain boundary plays a vital role in thermoelectric transports, leading to distinct properties between single crystals and polycrystals. Manipulating the grain boundary to realize good thermoelectric properties in polycrystals similar as those of single crystals is a long-standing task, but...
