ABSTRACT:
A novel thermoelectric material in the form of a unit cell including a first reagent intercalated as a semiconducting layer into a metallic layered host and a method for producing the thermoelectric material are disclosed. The unit cell is characterized by a Seebeck coefficient S of 80-140 .mu.V/K.degree. and an electrical conductivity .sigma. of 10.sup.3 -10.sup.4 (.OMEGA.cm).sup.-1, as well as a figure of merit Z of about 2.times.10.sup.-3 K.sup.-1 at 100.degree. K.
