Thermoelectric properties of copper selenide with ordered selenium layer and disordered copper layer

Thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) of ∼1.6 at 700 °C is achieved in β-phase copper selenide (Cu2Se) made by ball milling and hot pressing. The β-phase of such material possesses a natural superlattice-like structure that combines ordered selenium (Se) and disordered copper (Cu) layers in its unit c...
