Scandium-doped zinc cadmium oxide as a new stable n-type oxide thermoelectric material

Scandium-doped zinc cadmium oxide is proposed as a new n-type oxide thermoelectric material, which is stable in air at high temperature up to 1073 K, and having a 7-fold-reduced thermal conductivity at RT and the highest ZT ∼0.3 at 1173 K.</p
