Discovery of ZrCoBi based half Heuslers with high thermoelectric conversion efficiency

Identifying new compounds with intrinsically high conversion efficiency is the key to demonstrating next-generation thermoelectric modules. Here, Zhu et al. report the discovery of p-type ZrCoBi-based half Heuslers with thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 9% and large high-temperature stability.
