Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved thermoelectric performance in layered SnSe2, indicating effective carrier optimization.

Key Points

The aim is to enhance the thermoelectric performance of layered SnSe2 by optimizing charge carrier density while maintaining low thermal conductivity.
Optimized ambient-temperature electron concentration from 1.0 × 10^19 cm–3 to 5.2 × 10^19 cm–3.
Measured peak thermoelectric ZT of ∼1.4 at 723 K in SnSe2 polycrystal.
Conducted first-principles computations to analyze thermal transport mechanisms.
Achieved significant increase in charge conduction and power factor while keeping total heat conduction at ∼0.6–0.8 W m–1 K–1.
Demonstrated that soft interlayer acoustic vibrational modes contribute to suppressed thermal transport.
Established carrier optimization within a soft lattice as a strategy for high-efficiency thermoelectric conversion.
