Abstract

We report the synthesis of Cu substituted Mn<sub>1−x</sub>Cu<italic>x</italic>Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub>and its interesting resonant doping behavior, leading to<italic>zT</italic>of 0.64 at 773 K for the Mn<sub>0.75</sub>Cu<sub>0.25</sub>Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub>. Cu-doped MnSb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>4</sub>could be considered as a new platform for power generation.
