The effect of Sn doping on thermoelectric performance of n-type half-Heusler NbCoSb
Abstract
Herein, Sn was successfully doped into the Sb site of n-type NbCoSb half-Heusler compounds to tune the carrier concentration, and a maximumZTvalue of ~0.56 was obtained at 973 K for NbCoSb 1-xSn xwithx= 0.2, an increase of ~40% as compared to that of NbCoSb.
