Thermoelectric (TE) energy conversion technology provides a promising way to improve the efficiency of fossil energy by generating electricity from low-grade waste heat. With regard to these applications, thermoelectric generators (TEGs) should be designed from system integration perspectives to simultaneously improve heat transfer efficiency and system simplification as well as the robust mechanical properties. However, typical TEGs fabricated by conventional methods barely accomplish such requirements.

Due to the excellent thermoelectric performance, bismuth telluride (BiTe) compounds are highly promising for the thermoelectric conversion in the room temperature range. However, the inferior thermoelectric performance of the n-type leg severely restricts the applications of BiTe-based thermoelectric couples. Herein, n-type BiTeSe (BTS)-based thermoelectric materials incorporated with nanosized YO (0.
