Abstract

N-type SnSe compound has been synthesized through melting with spark plasma sintering. By doping BiCl3, the carrier concentration of SnSe is significantly increased, leading to a large enhancement of electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the SnSe0.95-BiCl3 samples also exhibit higher Seebeck coefficient and lower lattice thermal conductivity, compared with polycrystalline SnSe. Consequently, a high power factor of ∼5 μW cm−1 K−2 and a ZT of 0.7 have been achieved at 793 K. The synergistic roles of BiCl3 doping in SnSe provide many opportunities in the optimization of n-type SnSe materials.
