Abstract

We report a ternary compound CuInTe2 with diamond-like structure as a promising thermoelectric material in moderate temperature range. Due to the good electrical properties and low thermal conductivity, the zT value of CuInTe2 reaches 1.18 at 850 K, better than any other un-doped diamond-like material.
