Enhanced thermoelectric properties of AgSbTe2 by doping for room-middle temperature applications by Toh, Clara Lin Long

“…The incorporation of dopants inhibits the formation of secondary phases, reduces lattice thermal conductivity, and adjusts carrier concentrations. The characterisation of the samples was carried out using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and the thermoelectric properties of the samples were measured using ULVAC ZEM-3 and Laser Flash Analysis (LFA). …”
