Summary

This thesis focuses on
chalcogenide compound
quantum dots with special crystal structures and behaviors in
an effort to achieve the synergistic optimization of electrical and
thermal transport for high-efficiency thermoelectric materials. The controllability and large-scale synthesis of chalcogenide quantum dots are realized
through simple colloid synthesis, and the synergistic optimization of the materials’ electrical and thermal transport properties is successfully achieved.
Furthermore, the book explores
the mechanism involved in
the integration of high thermoelectric performance and reversible p-n
semiconducting switching in bimetal chalcogenide semiconductors. As such, the thesis will be of interest to
university researchers and graduate students in the materials science,
chemistry and physics.
