Abstract

In Bi<sub>0.4</sub>Sb<sub>1.6</sub>Te<sub>3</sub>-based composites incorporated with 1.3 vol% β-Zn<sub>4</sub>Sb<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles, figure of merit <italic>ZT</italic> = 1.43 is achieved at 443 K, which is ∼18% larger than that (=1.21) of Bi<sub>0.4</sub>Sb<sub>1.6</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> matrix.
