Abstract
bulk nanostructured alloy to the state-of-the-art level. The combination of a newly developed scalable colloidal synthesis with optimized spark plasma sintering constitutes a convenient route to nanostructured bulk thermoelectrics, which is an interesting pathway for the preparation of simple and complex thermoelectric chalcogenides.
