Popis: | This work revealed that the thermoelectric properties of textured SnSe polycrystals, which are made of solvothermally synthesized powders with a preferred orientation grown along the (400) plane, can be enhanced, especially in the range of mid-temperatures. The electrical conductivity for the sintered sample is greatly improved in the whole measured temperature range, attributed to the high carrier concentration and unique mobility change. This results in a large power factor combined with the moderate Seebeck coefficient, especially in the range of 300–650 K, which exceeds 5 μW cm−1 K−2 at 423 K and even larger than 6 μW cm−1 K−2 at 521 K. Benefiting from the enhanced electrical conductivity and the low total thermal conductivity ( |
