Abstract
Pseudo‐Binary GeTe‐Sb2Te3 materials have demonstrated promising thermoelectric performance in intermediate temperature (500‐800 K) range. In this work, by co‐sputtering of Ge45Te52S3 and Sb2Te3 a composition spreads with varying Ge:Sb:Te ratios were fabricated to identify specific composition regimes with the highest thermoelectric performance. From the thermoelectric measurements, (Ge5Sb37Te58) demonstrated the highest power factor values. Thermal conductivity measurements were performed on the different compositions with higher power factor values. Maximum zT values ranging from 0.36 ± 0.08 to 0.81 ± 0.15 for samples Ge9Sb33Te58 to Ge5Sb37Te58 at 300°C were achieved. The co‐sputtering technique establishes an effective high‐throughput approach to systematically map the relationship between composition and thermoelectric properties across a wide range of compositions in a single deposition run.
