Popis: Single crystals of SnSe have gained considerable attention in thermoelectrics due to their unprecedented thermoelectric performance. However, polycrystalline SnSe is more favorable for practical applications due to its facile chemical synthesis procedure, processability, and scalability. Though the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of p-type bulk SnSe polycrystals has reached2.5, zT of n-type counterpart is still lower and lies around ≈1.5. Herein, record high zT of 2.0 in n-type polycrystalline SnSe
