A facile synthetic approach for copper iron sulfidenanocrystals with enhanced thermoelectric performance

Abstract

Chalcopyrite CuFeS2 nanocrystals with a diameter of 6.4 nm were synthesized using a facile solution-phase method. Due to quantum confinement, the CuFeS2 nanocrystals exhibit a maximum ZT value of 0.264 at 500 K, which is 77 times the value of bulk chalcopyrite.
