Cu1.8S is a promising thermoelectric material with characteristics of superionic conductors. This study has been focused on the effect of Ti4+ doping on both electron and phonon transport properties of TixCu1.8-xS (x = 0, 0.04, 0.07, 0.10). The thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) was greatly enhance...
