The ultralow thermal conductivity of AgCrSe2 is achieved by taking advantage of the cationic disorder in the interlayer spacing of the structure. This leads to a thermoelectric figure of merit higher than 1 at 800K. This unique case opens the route to the discovery of other efficient thermoelectric materials.
Gascoin et al. (2011) studied this question.
