Lone Pair Electrons

Doping Sn into the Cu2Te lattice can synergistically enhance the power factor and decrease thermal conductivity, leading to remarkably optimized zTs. The lone pair electrons from the 5s orbital of Sn can increase the DOS near the Fermi level of Cu2Te to promote PF and reduce κe by decreasing the carrier concentration. This study explores a scalable strategy to optimize the thermoelectric performance for intrinsically highly degenerate semiconductors.
