Nanostructured SnSe was created using hydrothermal methods and sintering in an evacuated-and-encapsulated ampoule. The effects of the synthesis and thermoelectric properties of SnSe using hydrothermal synthesis at low temperatures followed by evacuating-and-encapsulating sintering were then further investigated to determine their viability. One of the investigations ...
A series of polycrystalline Sn1-xNaxSe with x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.10 were fabricated using hydrothermal synthesis, followed by evacuated-and-encapsulated sintering. Their thermoelectric properties were then evaluated. The thermal constant analyser was used to find the thermal conductivity of each system by using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. ...
