## Description

- description: Thermoelectric energy conversion is a promising renewable technology
    to generate electricity by recovering waste heat. Great progress has been made
    in energy conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials, but further performance
    enhancement has been expected by developing new material design rules. Recently,
    “mixed-anion” materials, which consist of two or more anionic species in a single
    phase, have attracted much attention as a next generation high-performance thermoelectric
    materials. They form unique crystal structures and coordination not observed in
    single-anion systems and have demonstrated for example, extremely low intrinsic
    lattice thermal conductivity and also specific electronic structures enabling
    high thermoelectric performance. This paper provides a comprehensive review of
    the recent advances in mixed-anion thermoelectric materials and the mixed-anion
    effect on electron and phonon transport. We first provide an overview of the historical
    approach of multiple-anion substitution onto single-anion compounds and discuss
    the substantial impacts from multiple anion substitutions across different material
    systems. Then, we summarize the characteristics of crystal structures and physical
    properties, as well as the recent advances of thermoelectric properties for the
    mixed-anion compounds that naturally contain multiple anions. In the end, we point
    out the currently unsolved challenges and future prospects toward the development
    of mixed-anion thermoelectrics. Mixed-anion materials have a large degree of freedom
    regarding choice of the constituent anion combinations, which provides a wide
    search space for new materials with further outstanding thermoelectric performance.
    Going forward we expect that the mixed-anion strategy offers great potential for
    finding new classes of high-performance thermoelectric materials.
