Abstract
Defect engineering is an effective method for tuning the performance of thermoelectric materials and shows significant promise in advancing thermoelectric performance. Given the rapid progress in this research field, this Review summarizes recent advances in the application of defect engineering in thermoelectric materials, offering insights into how defect engineering can enhance thermoelectric performance. By manipulating the micro/nanostructure and chemical composition to introduce defects at various scales, the physical impacts of diverse types of defects on band structure, carrier and phonon transport behaviors, and the improvement of mechanical stability are comprehensively discussed. These findings…
