SnSe has a layered-like crystal structure and shows high thermoelectric performance along the b-crystal axis. Due to low textured degree, polycrystalline SnSe process poor electrical properties and overall thermoelectric performance. Here, we show that by increasing the textured degree, enhanced thermoelectric performance with a peak ZT of 1.3 at 793 K is achieved in Ag-doped SnSe polycrystals.
