· CuAgTe2

CuAgTe₂ is a ternary intermetallic compound combining copper, silver, and tellurium, belonging to the metal chalcogenide family. This material is primarily investigated for thermoelectric applications where it can convert temperature gradients into electrical current or vice versa, and has attracted research interest for its potential to achieve competitive figure-of-merit values in mid-to-high temperature ranges. The combination of heavy tellurium and multiple metallic elements creates favorable phonon scattering characteristics that enhance thermoelectric efficiency compared to simpler binary systems.
