AgSbTe₂ is a ternary chalcogenide semiconductor compound combining silver, antimony, and tellurium elements. This material belongs to the family of narrow-bandgap semiconductors and is primarily investigated for thermoelectric applications, where it can convert thermal gradients directly into electrical current or vice versa. AgSbTe₂-based alloys are notable for their potential in mid-to-high temperature thermoelectric devices, offering a balance between electrical conductivity and thermal properties that makes them competitive alternatives to lead telluride in specialized energy conversion systems.
