? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Lead selenide (PbSe) is considered to be decent candidate replacing lead telluride (PbTe) as intermediate temperature (600–900 K) thermoelectric application due to its lower intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity, higher thermal stability, and larger abundance of Se than Te. To improve the thermoelectric performance of n-type PbSe, we constructed an n-type PbSe-Sb2Se3 pseudo-binary via alloying Sb2Se3 into PbSe matrix to obtain a reduced lattice thermal conductivity at a broad temperature range. Next, we introduced extra Zn into matrix to optimize the electron concentration. Last, we further added excess Ag2Se to modulate the lattice thermal conductivity at temperature< 523 K. Eventually, we obtained an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of ~ 0.40 W m?1 K?1 and a large peak ZT of ~ 1.36 at 773 K in the composition of (PbSe)40(Sb2Se3)Zn0.1(Ag2Se)0.75; meanwhile, the average ZT between 323 and 773 K is as high as ~ 0.78, revealing a significant improvement over pristine PbSe.
