text: 'A synthetic route for producing Cu 2ZnGeSe 4 nanocrystals with narrow size
distributions and controlled composition is presented. These nanocrystals were
used to produce densely packed nanomaterials by hot-pressing. From the characterization
of the thermoelectric properties of these nanomaterials, Cu 2ZnGeSe 4 is demonstrated
to show excellent thermoelectric properties. A very preliminary adjustment of
the nanocrystal composition has already resulted in a figure of merit of up to
0.55 at 450°C. '
