Cold pressing and subsequent heat treatments with hydrogen reduction were used to form bulk solid samples with good thermoelectric properties in the temperature range around 75℃to 100℃. In comparison to crystal growth methods and chemical solution synthesis, the reported technique can be readily implemented for mass production with relatively low cost.展开更多
