Lead-free SnTe-based thermoelectrics: enhancement of thermoelectric performance by doping with Gd/Ag

SnTe, with the same rock-salt structure as PbTe, is a potentially attractive thermoelectric material. Pristine SnTe has poor thermoelectric performance because of its very high hole concentration resulting from intrinsic Sn vacancies, which leads to a high thermal conductivity and a low Seebeck coef...
