However, the library of RT high-performance materials is limited. Traditional high-temperature synthetic methods constrain the range of materials achievable, hindering the ability to surpass crystal structure limitations and engineer defects. Here, a solution-based synthetic approach is introduced, enabling RT synthesis of powders and exploration of densification at lower temperatures to influence the material's microstructure. The approach is exemplified by Ag2Se, an n-type alternative to bismuth telluride. It is demonstrated that the concentration of Ag interstitials, grain boundaries, and dislocations are directly correlated to the sintering temperature, and achieve a figure of merit of 1.1 from RT to 100 °C after optimization. Moreover, insights into and resolve Ag2Se's challenges are provided, including stoichiometry issues leading to irreproducible performances.

One possibility is employing surfactant-free solution synthesis to produce nanopowders.

In particular, we use bismuth thiolates to functionalize surfactant-free SnTe particles’ surfaces. Upon thermal processing, bismuth thiolates decomposition renders SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites with synergistic functions: 1) carrier concentration optimization by Bi doping; 2) Seebeck coefficient enhancement and bipolar effect suppression by energy filtering; and 3) lattice thermal conductivity reduction by small grain domains, grain boundaries and nanostructuration. Overall, the SnTe-Bi2S3 nanocomposites exhibit peak z T up to 1.3 at 873 K and an average z T of ≈0.6 at 300–873 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed SnTe."}],"oa_version":"Published Version","ec_funded":1,"issue":"35","volume":61,"publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1433-7851"],"eissn":["1521-3773"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file":[{"file_size":4072650,"date_updated":"2023-02-02T08:01:00Z","creator":"dernst","file_name":"2022_AngewandteChemieInternat_Chang.pdf","date_created":"2023-02-02T08:01:00Z","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","success":1,"file_id":"12476","checksum":"ad601f2b9e26e46ab4785162be58b5ed"}]},{"external_id":{"pmid":["36248227"],"isi":["000917837600001"]},"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","author":[{"first_name":"Christine","id":"bd3fceba-dc74-11ea-a0a7-c17f71817366","last_name":"Fiedler","full_name":"Fiedler, Christine"},{"id":"8BD9DE16-AB3C-11E9-9C8C-2A03E6697425","first_name":"Tobias","full_name":"Kleinhanns, Tobias","last_name":"Kleinhanns"},{"last_name":"Garcia","full_name":"Garcia, Maria","id":"6e5c50b8-97dc-11ed-be98-b0a74c84cae0","first_name":"Maria"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-6962-8598","full_name":"Lee, Seungho","last_name":"Lee","first_name":"Seungho","id":"BB243B88-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425"},{"first_name":"Mariano","id":"45D7531A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Calcabrini, Mariano","last_name":"Calcabrini"},{"first_name":"Maria","id":"43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Ibáñez","orcid":"0000-0001-5013-2843","full_name":"Ibáñez, Maria"}],"title":"Solution-processed inorganic thermoelectric materials: Opportunities and challenges","citation":{"ista":"Fiedler C, Kleinhanns T, Garcia M, Lee S, Calcabrini M, Ibáñez M. 2022.

To date, conventional solid-state techniques are unable to provide this level of control. Herein, we present a synthetic approach in which dense inorganic thermoelectric materials are produced by the consolidation of well-defined nanoparticle powders. The idea is that controlling the characteristics of the powder allows the chemical transformations that take place during consolidation to be guided, ultimately yielding inorganic solids with targeted features. Different from conventional methods, syntheses in solution can produce particles with unprecedented control over their size, shape, crystal structure, composition, and surface chemistry. However, to date, most works have focused only on the low-cost benefits of this strategy. In this perspective, we first cover the opportunities that solution processing of the powder offers, emphasizing the potential structural features that can be controlled by precisely engineering the inorganic core of the particle, the surface, and the organization of the particles before consolidation. We then discuss the challenges of this synthetic approach and more practical matters related to solution processing. Finally, we suggest some good practices for adequate knowledge transfer and improving reproducibility among different laboratories."}],"oa_version":"Published Version","pmid":1},{"publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2380-8195"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file":[{"file_id":"9155","checksum":"6fa7374bf8b95fdfe6e6c595322a6689","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2021-02-17T07:36:52Z","file_name":"2021_ACSEnergyLetters_Calcabrini.pdf","date_updated":"2021-02-17T07:36:52Z","file_size":5071201,"creator":"dernst"}],"ec_funded":1,"issue":"2","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"12885","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"volume":6,"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Cesium lead halides have intrinsically unstable crystal lattices and easily transform within perovskite and nonperovskite structures.

However, solution synthesis generally involves the presence of additional molecules or ions belonging to the precursors or added to enable solubility and/or regulate nucleation and growth. These molecules or ions can end up in the particles as surface adsorbates and interfere in the material properties. This work demonstrates that ionic adsorbates, in particular Na⁺ ions, are electrostatically adsorbed in SnSe particles synthesized in water and play a crucial role not only in directing the material nano/microstructure but also in determining the transport properties of the consolidated material. In dense pellets prepared by sintering SnSe particles, Na remains within the crystal lattice as dopant, in dislocations, precipitates, and forming grain boundary complexions. These results highlight the importance of considering all the possible unintentional impurities to establish proper structure-property relationships and control material properties in solution-processed thermoelectric materials.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"12","intvolume":" 33","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["620"],"date_updated":"2023-08-14T07:25:27Z","file_date_updated":"2022-02-03T13:16:14Z","department":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"MaIb"}],"_id":"10123","status":"public","keyword":["mechanical engineering","mechanics of materials","general materials science"],"article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"day":"29","publication":"Advanced Materials","has_accepted_license":"1","isi":1,"year":"2021","date_published":"2021-12-29T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1002/adma.202106858","date_created":"2021-10-11T20:07:24Z","acknowledgement":"Y.L. and M.C. contributed equally to this work.

In this work, we engineer a new electrocatalyst by incorporating phosphorous into a palladium-tin alloy and demonstrate a significant performance improvement toward EOR. We first detail a synthetic method to produce Pd2Sn:P nanocrystals that incorporate 35% of phosphorus. These nanoparticles are supported on carbon black and tested for EOR. Pd2Sn:P/C catalysts exhibit mass current densities up to 5.03 A mgPd−1, well above those of Pd2Sn/C, PdP2/C and Pd/C reference catalysts. Furthermore, a twofold lower Tafel slope and a much longer durability are revealed for the Pd2Sn:P/C catalyst compared with Pd/C. The performance improvement is rationalized with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations considering different phosphorous chemical environments. Depending on its oxidation state, surface phosphorus introduces sites with low energy OH− adsorption and/or strongly influences the electronic structure of palladium and tin to facilitate the oxidation of the acetyl to acetic acid, which is considered the EOR rate limiting step. DFT calculations also points out that the durability improvement of Pd2Sn:P/C catalyst is associated to the promotion of OH adsorption that accelerates the oxidation of intermediate poisoning COads, reactivating the catalyst surface.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"None"}]
