Investigation on Flexible Thin Film Thermoelectrics of Tin Selenide prepared by RF Magnetron Sputtering

This study focuses on the fabrication of Tin Selenide (SnSe) thin films using the RF sputtering method and characterizes their thermoelectric properties to explore their potential for efficient thermoelectric generators. The findings aim to contribute to the advancement of sustainable thermoelectric technologies. The highest power factor (PF) for temperate measurement was achieved at 0.24 mW m −1 K −2 , where electrical resistivity ( ρ ) was 0.53 m Ω m and Seebeck coefficient ( S ) was 360 μV K −1 for the sample annealed at 400°C.
