Five new semiconductors Pb5Sb12+xBi6-xSe32(x=0,1,2,3,and 4)have been synthesized for the first time,which adopt pavonite-type structure and crystallize in monoclinic C2/m space group.The crystal structure is composed of two different types of polyhedral slabs.Slab-I is a galena-like structure motif that forms with[MSe6](M=Pb,Sb,and Bi)octahedra and slab-Ⅱ contains one octahedral[MSe6]block and paired squared pyramids[MSe5].Pb5Sb12+xBi6-xSe32 exhibits n-type semiconductor behaviors and the remarkable Seebeck coefficient from-64.1 μV K-1 for x=0 sample to-242 μV K-1 forx=4 sample at 300 K.Moreover,the Pb5Sb12Bi6Se32 has the highest carrier concentration of 1.35 × 1020 cm-3 in pavonite-type materials.The complex compositions,mixed occupancies of the cations,and quasi-two-dimensional structure lead to the low lattice thermal conduc-tivity(κlat)less than 0.48 W m-1 K-1 from 300 to 723 K,at which Pb5Sb16Bi2Se32 especially shows the ultralow value of 0.25 W m-1 K-1.As a result,the thermoelectric figure of merit,ZT~0.34 at 723 K,is obtained for the intrinsic Pb5Sb12Bi6Se32.
