Yb14MnSb11: New High Efficiency Thermoelectric Material for Power Generation
Abstract
Thermoelectric materials provide a key solution to energy problems through the conversion of heat into electrical energy. We report that the complex Zintl compound, Yb 14 MnSb 11, breaks a 2-decade stagnation in high-temperature (>900 K), p-type materials development for thermoelectric power generation. This material achieves quadrupled efficiency and virtually doubled figure of merit over the current state-of-the-art, SiGe, thus earmarking it superior for thermoelectric applications in segmented devices. Yb 14 MnSb 11 represents the first complex Zintl phase with substantially higher figure of merit and efficiency than any other competing materials, opening a new class of thermoelectric compounds with remarkable chemical and physical properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
