Abstract
An interesting fact is that many promising thermoelectric materials possess layered structures. Recently, layered thermoelectric materials such as Bi2Te3, SnSe, and BiCuSeO have attracted tremendous research interest because of their intrinsically high figure of merit (zT). In this chapter, we summarize the research status of several layered thermoelectric material systems including Bi2Te3, SnSe, BiCuSeO, and AgCrSe2 , and introduce some thermoelectric devices based on these layered materials.
