metal· JVASP-51945· Cu12Sb4S13
Cu12Sb4S13 is a quaternary sulfide compound belonging to the tetrahedrite mineral family, a class of materials of significant interest in thermoelectric and semiconducting applications. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for solid-state energy conversion and thermal management systems, where its intrinsic properties as a sulfide semiconductor make it a candidate alternative to traditional thermoelectric alloys. Engineers consider this material family for applications requiring efficient thermal-to-electric energy conversion at moderate temperatures, particularly in waste heat recovery where earth-abundant elements are preferred over rare-earth or toxic alternatives.
