Recently, the discovery of ductility inorganic semiconductors Ag₂S-based alloys have drawn significant interest in hetero-shaped thermoelectric applications. In this work, Ag₂S_0.7Te_0.3 inorganic thermoelectric compound was prepared using the zone melting technique. The crystal structure of Ag₂S_0.7Te_0.3 is similar to that of the cubic-structured Ag₂S compound, in which S and Te atoms are randomly occupied at the anionic sites. The observed high hall carrier mobility of ∼410 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and intrinsic low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.2 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹ lead to a maximum zT of 0.30 at 600 K for Ag₂S_0.7Te_0.3. In addition, its mechanical properties including microhardness H_v and fracture toughness K_c are measured, showing great potential for thermoelectric application.
