Problems solved by technology

[0009] Experimental studies found that the intrinsic Cu 2 S has an extremely low thermal conductivity value, only 0.3-0.4Wm in the test temperature range of 300-800K -1 K -1 , but due to its low carrier concentration, its conductivity value is less than 100Sm when it is close to 650K -1 , that is, because the power factor (PF) is too small, it cannot have excellent thermoelectric performance
