  bibo_abstract:
  - The bottom-up assembly of colloidal nanocrystals is a versatile methodology to
    produce composite nanomaterials with precisely tuned electronic properties. Beyond
    the synthetic control over crystal domain size, shape, crystal phase, and composition,
    solution-processed nanocrystals allow exquisite surface engineering. This provides
    additional means to modulate the nanomaterial characteristics and particularly
    its electronic transport properties. For instance, inorganic surface ligands can
    be used to tune the type and concentration of majority carriers or to modify the
    electronic band structure. Herein, we report the thermoelectric properties of
    SnTe nanocomposites obtained from the consolidation of surface-engineered SnTe
    nanocrystals into macroscopic pellets. A CdSe-based ligand is selected to (i)
    converge the light and heavy bands through partial Cd alloying and (ii) generate
    CdSe nanoinclusions as a secondary phase within the SnTe matrix, thereby reducing
    the thermal conductivity. These SnTe-CdSe nanocomposites possess thermoelectric
    figures of merit of up to 1.3 at 850 K, which is, to the best of our knowledge,
    the highest thermoelectric figure of merit reported for solution-processed SnTe.@eng
