Centimeter-sized Te-doped GaSe ingots were grown from the charge compositions of GaSe with nominals 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 3 mass% Te, which were identified as ε-GaSe:Te (0.01, 0.07, 0.38, 0.67, and 2.07 mass%) single crystals. The evolution of the absorption peaks of the phonon modes E'(2) (≈ 0.584 THz) and E"(2) (1.77 THz) on Te-doping in GaSe:Te crystals was studied by THz time-domain spectroscopy. This study proposes that the evolution of both E'(2) and E''(2) absorption peaks correlates well with the optical quality of Te-doped GaSe crystals, which was confirmed by experimental results on the efficiency of THz generation by optical rectification. Maximal intensity of the absorption peak of the rigid layer mode E'(2) is proposed as a criterion for identification of optimal Te-doping in GaSe crystals.

CoSb-based skutterudites have great potential as midtemperature thermoelectric (TE) materials due to their low cost and excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Their application, however, is limited by the high thermal conductivity and the degradation of TE performance at elevated temperatures, attributed to the adverse effects of bipolar diffusion. Herein, a series of SeCoSbTe compounds were successfully synthesized by combining a solid-state reaction and spark plasma sintering techniques to mitigate these challenges.

In addressing the global need for sustainable energy conversion, this study presents a breakthrough in thermoelectric materials research by optimizing the BiOSeTe system in the BiOSe/BiOTe pseudobinary series. Leveraging the principles of innovative transport mechanisms and defect engineering, we introduce tellurium (Te) doping into BiOSe to enhance its thermoelectric properties synergistically. With the help of various advanced characterization tools such as XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, FTIR, TGA, LFA, and DSC, combined with relevant resistance and density measurement techniques, we conducted an in-depth exploration of the complex interactions between various factors within thermoelectric materials.

In order to enhance the energy efficiency of water electrolysis, it is imperative to devise electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction that are both non-precious metal-based and highly efficient. Efficient catalyst design is generally based on electronic structural engineering. Considering the electronegativity disparity between selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te), the tunable bandgaps, and the conductive metallic nature of Te.
