High thermoelectric performance enabled by convergence of nested conduction bands in Pb7Bi4Se13 with low thermal conductivity

Lillianite materials usually have low thermoelectric efficiency due to the inherently inferior electrical properties. Here, the authors evaluate thermoelectric performances in Pb7Bi4Se13 based lillianites enabled by convergence of nested conduction bands.
