Valence disproportionation of GeS in the PbS matrix forms Pb₅Ge₅S₁₂ inclusions with conduction band alignment leading to high n-type thermoelectric performance

Converting waste heat into useful electricity using solid-state thermoelectrics has a potential for enormous global energy savings. Lead chalcogenides are among the most prominent thermoelectric materials, whose performance decreases with an increase in chalcogen amounts (e.g., PbTe > PbSe > P...
