(abstract)

Semiconducting quasicrystals and their approximant crystals (ACs) have attracted significant attention because of their potential applications as thermoelectric materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of a semiconducting AC in the Al–Ge–Ru system and its thermoelectric properties. The Al–Ge–Ru AC exhibited a band gap of approximately 0.25 eV. Notably, we observed a negative Seebeck coefficient, which reached a maximum magnitude of 200 µV K−1, marking the first example of an n-type semiconducting AC. The Al74Ge4Ru22 AC exhibiting degenerate semiconductor behavior reached a dimensionless figure of merit of 0.28 at a peak temperature of 473 K. This represents the highest figure of merit achieved to date for a quasicrystalline-based thermoelectric material.
