A high FoM on this compound but take that with salt. Thermoelectrics still have a long way to go and there are plenty of groups, called ZT hunters, looking for something that could be useful. The best TE, including the reported values here, are still not what we would consider efficient. Also, there are many ways to....'influence' the ZT for best results. Good for them; it's always nice to nab a Nature paper, but dont expect to see this impact any commerce. Unless you have a lot of TE micro-fridges in your car.
