A hybridized graphene carrier highway for enhanced thermoelectric power generation

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2012 Oct 21;14(39):13527-31. doi: 10.1039/c2cp42936e.

Abstract

The decoupling and enhancement of both Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were achieved by constructing the c-axis preferentially oriented nanoscale Sb(2)Te(3) film on monolayer graphene. The external graphene layer provided a highway for charge carriers, which were stored in the thicker binary telluride film, due to the extremely high mobility.
