Texturization-Induced In-Plane High-Performance Thermoelectrics and Inapplicability of the Debye Model to Out-of-Plane Lattice Thermal Conductivity in Misfit-Layered Chalcogenides.

Texturization tuning is of crucial significance for designing and developing high-performance thermoelectric materials and devices. Here, we report for the first time that a strong texturization effect induces an in-plane high-performance thermoelectric and an out-of-plane low lattice thermal conductivity in Sb-substituted misfit-layered (SnS)
