Enhancing the power factor of p-type BiSbTe films via deposited with/without Cr seed layer

The thermoelectric effect is an efficient method to use waste heat as a primary source of electrical energy. Being a room temperature thermoelectric thin film, p-type BiSbTe is one of the best candidates owing to the combined high efficiency and large power factor for future technological applications. Novel approaches have emerged in recent decades with the aim of enhancing the thermoelectric properties of BiSbTe thin films. The method involves...
