## Description

- description: Thermoelectric (TE) materials, capable of interconverting heat and
    electricity, exhibit significant promise for applications in heat harvesting and
    solid-state cooling. Copper is relatively abundant in the earth’s crust and offers
    the most favorable abundance-to-price ratio among the elements utilized in TE
    applications, rendering Cu-based TE technology a promising and sustainable candidate
    for large-scale applications. Over the past decade, considerable attention has
    been devoted to Cu-based TE materials. In particular, copper chalcogenides (Cu2Q;
    Q = S, Se, Te) have attracted special interest due to their outstanding TE performance
    in the high-temperature range (700–1100 K) 2–6, which significantly outperforms
    most other representative TE materials. They are reviewed.
