abstract = {Silicon has several advantages when compared to other
thermoelectric materials, but until recently it was not used
for thermoelectric applications due to its high thermal
conductivity, 156 W K−1 m−1 at room temperature.
Nanostructuration as means to decrease thermal transport
through enhanced phonon scattering has been a subject of
many studies. In this work we have evaluated the effects of
nanostructuration on the lattice dynamics of bulk
nanocrystalline doped silicon. The samples were prepared by
gas phase synthesis, followed by current and pressure
assisted sintering. The heat capacity, density of phonons
states, and elastic constants were measured, which all
reveal a significant, $≈25\%,$ reduction in the speed of
sound. The samples present a significantly decreased lattice
thermal conductivity, ≈25 W K−1 m−1, which, combined
with a very high carrier mobility, results in a
dimensionless figure of merit with a competitive value that
peaks at ZT ≈ 0.57 at 973 °C. Due to its easily scalable
and extremely low-cost production process, nanocrystalline
Si prepared by gas phase synthesis followed by sintering
could become the material of choice for high temperature
thermoelectric generators.},
