Narrative review demonstrates the impact of chemical bonding and elemental doping on thermoelectric performance in tetrahedrites, highlighting pathways toward sustainable energy conversion.

Key Points

To review the relationship between crystal structure, chemical bonding, electronic band structure, and elemental doping effects in tetrahedrite thermoelectric materials.
Synthesized theoretical and experimental literature on the fundamental crystal lattices and chemical bonding behavior of tetrahedrites.
Evaluated reported thermoelectric property variations resulting from the incorporation of various dopant elements into tetrahedrite frameworks.
Tetrahedrite materials exhibit complex crystal structures and bonding configurations that inherently promote desirable low thermal conductivity.
Doping with specific target elements systematically modifies the electronic band structure, enhancing electrical transport and overall thermoelectric efficiency.
