The much slower progress in enhancing the thermoelectric performance of n-type Bi2Te3 than that of p-type Bi2Te3 based materials in the past decade hinders the widespread use in power generation and refrigeration. Here, a facile bottom-up solution-synthesis with spark plasma sintering (SPS) process...
