Here, we report a thiol-free tin telluride (SnTe) precursor that can be thermally decomposed to produce SnTe crystals with sizes ranging from tens to several hundreds of nanometers. We further engineer SnTe–Cu2SnTe3 nanocomposites with a homogeneous phase distribution by decomposing the liquid SnTe precursor containing a dispersion of Cu1.5Te colloidal nanoparticles. The presence of Cu within the SnTe and the segregated semimetallic Cu2SnTe3 phase effectively improves the electrical conductivity of SnTe while simultaneously reducing the lattice thermal conductivity without compromising the Seebeck coefficient. Overall, power factors up to 3.63 mW m–1 K–2 and thermoelectric figures of merit up to 1.04 are obtained at 823 K, which represent a 167% enhancement compared with pristine SnTe.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","year":"2023","volume":15,"ddc":["540"],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"file":[{"date_created":"2023-05-30T07:38:44Z","file_id":"13099","relation":"main_file","file_size":5640829,"content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"23893be46763c4c78daacddd019de821","file_name":"2023_ACSAppliedMaterials_Nan.pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","success":1,"date_updated":"2023-05-30T07:38:44Z"}],"date_published":"2023-05-04T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"Published Version","isi":1,"project":[{"name":"Bottom-up Engineering for Thermoelectric Applications","_id":"9B8804FC-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","grant_number":"M02889"}],"publication":"ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces","date_updated":"2024-10-09T21:05:31Z","article_type":"original","publisher":"American Chemical Society","corr_author":"1","status":"public","day":"04","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":"1","file_date_updated":"2023-05-30T07:38:44Z","author":[{"full_name":"Nan, Bingfei","last_name":"Nan","first_name":"Bingfei"},{"full_name":"Song, Xuan","last_name":"Song","first_name":"Xuan"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9515-4277","id":"9E331C2E-9F27-11E9-AE48-5033E6697425","full_name":"Chang, Cheng","last_name":"Chang","first_name":"Cheng"},{"first_name":"Ke","full_name":"Xiao, Ke","last_name":"Xiao"},{"last_name":"Zhang","full_name":"Zhang, Yu","first_name":"Yu"},{"full_name":"Yang, Linlin","last_name":"Yang","first_name":"Linlin"},{"first_name":"Sharona","last_name":"Horta","full_name":"Horta, Sharona","id":"03a7e858-01b1-11ec-8b71-99ae6c4a05bc"},{"first_name":"Junshan","full_name":"Li, Junshan","last_name":"Li"},{"last_name":"Lim","full_name":"Lim, Khak Ho","first_name":"Khak Ho"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Maria","last_name":"Ibáñez","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria"},{"full_name":"Cabot, Andreu","last_name":"Cabot","first_name":"Andreu"}],"_id":"13092","external_id":{"pmid":["37141543"],"isi":["000985497900001"]},"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1944-8252"],"issn":["1944-8244"]},"quality_controlled":"1","intvolume":"        15","acknowledgement":"Open Access is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
