Advances in MgAgSb thermoelectrics: from materials to devices
Abstract
-based devices, owing to their superior performance near room temperature, abundant elemental availability, and environmental compatibility. Over the past decade, substantial progress has been achieved in elucidating and optimizing the thermoelectric properties of MgAgSb and its devices. This review presents a comprehensive summary of recent developments in the intrinsic properties, synthesis process refinements, and performance optimization strategies of MgAgSb, as well as interface engineering, geometric optimization, and stability enhancement in MgAgSb-based devices, while critically addressing current challenges and prospective pathways toward the practical implementation of MgAgSb-based thermoelectrics.
