The influence of sintering temperature on thermoelectric and mechanical performance of n-type Mg₃Sb₂-based materials

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how varying the sintering temperature affects both thermoelectric and mechanical performance of n-type Mg₃Sb₂-based materials.
• Applied different sintering temperatures to n-type Mg₃Sb₂-based materials.
• Evaluated thermoelectric and mechanical properties under these conditions.
• Increased sintering temperature significantly improved thermoelectric performance.
• Mechanical strength was also enhanced at optimal sintering temperatures.
