Rapid synthesis of Ag₂Se dendrites with enhanced electrical performance by microwave-assisted solution method

Fabrication of PEDOT:PSS/Ag2Se Nanowires for Polymer-Based Thermoelectric Applications

“…These XRD data of the synthesized Ag 2 Se NWs were obtained to confirm the composite’s crystal structure, as shown in Figure 3 a. These peaks indicate the orthorhombic crystalline phase of the Ag 2 Se product and are in good agreement with the literature values (JCPDS No.24-1041); therefore, they represent the formation of pristine Ag 2 Se (a = 0.705 nm, b = 0.782 nm, and c = 0.434 nm) [ 29 ].…”

Thermoelectric transport of Se-rich Ag2Se in normal phases and phase transitions

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Further study reveals that the zT is significantly enhanced at 400 K during the phase transition in Cu 2 Se and the improved cooling ability is confirmed by the test of the module using the Cu 2 Se and Yb-filled skutterudite. 9,10 The abnormal electrical and thermal transport in Cu 2 Se draws the interests to other Cu-and Ag-based compounds having similar chemical formulas.…”

High thermoelectric efficiency in electrodeposited silver selenide films: from Pourbaix diagram to a flexible thermoelectric module

“…However, two years ago, silver selenide thin films were developed 19,24,25 . These materials were obtained using spark plasma sintering (SPS) 22,26 , ball-milling process 27 , microwaveassisted solution 28 , hot pressing 21 , Pulsed Hybrid Reactive Magnetron Sputtering (PHRMS) 19 , or vacuum-assisted infiltration 24,25 . The thermoelectric properties of silver selenide grown by these techniques were studied.…”
