Improving the Thermoelectric Properties of the Half-Heusler Compound VCoSb by Vanadium Vacancy

The effects of V vacancy on the thermoelectric performance of the half-Heusler compound VCoSb have been investigated in this study. A certain amount of CoSb secondary phase is generated in the VCoSb matrix when the content of V vacancy is more than 0.1 at%. According to the results, a <i>ZT<...
