Engineering Ag<sub>2</sub>Se thermoelectrics <i>via</i> amorphous nano-Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>: a dual-functional strategy for enhanced <i>zT</i> and mechanical strength
The incorporation of amorphous nano-Si 3 N 4 enhances the zT value of Ag 2 Se from 0.72 to 0.95 by simultaneously reducing both the electronic and lattice thermal conductivity. Mechanical properties increased by ∼15.4% owing to the pinning effect.
