Thermoelectric transport enhancement of Te-rich bismuth antimony telluride (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3+x) through controlled porosity

Alloys of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 are the best performing p-type thermoelectrics near room temperature and have been the subject of extensive engineering efforts. Dramatic improvement is achieved by introducing defects that effectively scatter phonons and reduce thermal conductivity. Unfortunately, outsta...
