High figure-of-merit and power generation in high-entropy GeTe-based thermoelectrics

High figure-of-merit and power generation in high-entropy GeTe-based thermoelectrics The high-entropy concept provides extended, optimized space of a composition, resulting in unusual transport phenomena and excellent thermoelectric performance. By tuning electron and phonon localization, we enhanced the figure-of-merit value to 2.7 at 750 kelvin in germanium telluride-based high-entropy materials and realized a high experimental conversion efficiency of 13.3% at a temperature difference of 506...
