Highly charged interface trap states in PbS1−x govern electro-thermal transport

This work describes our discovery of the dominant role of highly charged interfaces on the electrothermal transport properties of PbS, along with a method to reduce the barrier potential for charge carriers by an order of magnitude. High temperature thermoelectrics such as PbS are inevitably exposed...
