Temperature-dependent a Seebeck coefficient, b thermal conductivity, and c zT of 3D ZnO (small grain) and 3D GQDx@ZnO (x \(=\) 1, 2, 3, and 4). Filled circles are measured values and open circles are estimated values. d Comparison of previously reported non-nanostructuring and nanostructuring approaches to the thermal conductivity of ZnO as a function of temperature. Filled star is measured values and open stars are estimated values. e Temperature-dependent zT values of previously reported nanostructured ZnO-based thermoelectric materials. Error bars shown in the Fig. 5 represent the SD.
