Feng's team from Tsinghua University has reported an innovative study on optimizing the thermoelectric performance of SnSe via liquid phase sintering.

Dense ceramic materials can form in nature under mild temperatures in water. By contrast, man-made ceramics often require sintering temperatures in excess of 1,400 °C for densification. Chemical ...
