Tailoring microstructure engineering to decouple electron-phonon transport in Se-based thermoelectric alloys

Selenide compounds are known for their intrinsically low thermal conductivity, yet their thermoelectric application is often hindered by poor electrical transport. Here we examine how this limitation manifests in three different systems, Sn-Se, Sb-Se, and Bi-Se, by correlating their microstructures with measured transp...
