text: 'Thermoelectricity is a key technology with the potential to improve the efficiency
of energy conversion processes, which may strongly benefit from advances in the
field of nanotechnology. Nanostructured materials are very appealing for thermoelectric
applications, but the full development of their potential requires precise control
of their properties at the nanoscale. Bottom-up assembly of nanoparticles provides
access to a three-dimensional composition control at the nanoscale not attainable
in any other technology. In particular, colloidal nanoheterostructures are especially
interesting building blocks for the bottom-up production of functional nanomaterials.
In the present work, we use PbTe@PbS core-shell nanoparticles as building blocks
for the bottom-up production of PbTe-PbS nanocomposites. We used a ligand exchange
strategy and a hot press process to promote the electrical conductivity of the
nanocomposite and to increase its density. These two approaches allowed us to
improve the performance of bottom-up assembled PbTe-PbS bulk nanostructured materials. '
