title: A facile synthetic approach for copper iron sulfide nanocrystals with enhanced thermoelectric performance.
abstract: Chalcopyrite CuFeS(2) nanocrystals with a diameter of 6.4 nm were synthesized using a facile solution-phase method. Due to quantum confinement, the CuFeS(2) nanocrystals exhibit a maximum ZT value of 0.264 at 500 K, which is 77 times the value of bulk chalcopyrite.
