Flexible layer-structured Bi2Te3 thermoelectric on a carbon nanotube scaffoldFlexible layer-structured Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> thermoelectric on a carbon nanotube scaffold, Published online: 19 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41563-018-0217-zBi2Te3 materials suffer from brittleness, limiting their application for thermoelectric harvesting. By depositing ordered nanocrystals onto single-wall carbon nanotubes, a flexible material is formed that achieves ZT of 0.89 at room temperature.
