GeTe is an excellent mid-temperature thermoelectric material with high dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) values at temperatures over 600 K. Its near-room-temperature performance is less studied due to the intrinsic high carrier concentration. Here, we successfully enhance the Seebeck coefficient of...
