Advances in thermoelectric AgBiSe₂: Properties, strategies, and future challenges.

ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric materials are attracting considerable attention to alleviate the global energy crisis by enabling the direct conversion of heat into electricity. As a class of I-V-VI₂ semiconductors, AgBiSe₂ is expected to be the potential thermoelectric material to replace conventional PbTe-based compounds due to its non-toxic and abundant nature of its constituent elements. This review article summarizes the fundamental properties of AgBiSe₂, thermoelectric properties, the effect of different dopants on its transport properties and entropy engineering for cubic phase stabilization with the detailed description of related techniques used to analyze the properties of AgBiSe₂. The current thermoelectric figure-of-merit and approaches to further imp
