Mechanochemical synthesis of high thermoelectric performance bulk Cu2X (X = S, Se) materials

We devised a single-step mechanochemical synthesis/densification procedure for Cu2X (X = S, Se) thermoelectric materials via applying a pressure of 3 GPa to a stoichiometric admixture of elemental Cu and X for 3 min at room temperature. The obtained bulk materials were single-phase, nearly stoichiom...
