The SnSe2 single crystal is predicted to have a high ZT value with carrier concentration in the range of 1019–1020 cm−3. Here, we grew SnSe2 thin film on Al2O3 substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with post-annealing at 400 °C in Argon for 60 min. The annealed thin film shows a high thermoelectric power factor up to 8 μW cm−1 K−2 at 220 K with a carrier concentration of 5.2 × 1019 cm−3. A hexagonal crystal structure of the SnSe2 thin film was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra measurements. The thin film showed an n-type semiconductor behavior. Maximum electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were obtained at 220 K with the values of 210 Scm−1 and −192 μVK−1, respectively. date: 2019 date_type: published publisher: IOP publishing full_text_status: public publication: Materials Research Express refereed: TRUE issn: 2053-1591 citation: Duong, Anh Tuan and Nguyen, Dinh Lam and Nguyen, Manh Nghia and Nguen, Thi Minh Hai and Nguyen, Anh Duc and Pham, Anh Tuan and Ullah, Parman and Zeeshan, Tahir and Kim, Yong Soo and Do, Quang Trung and Nguyen, Tu and Bui, Van Hao and Raja, Das and Pham, Thanh Huy and Cho, Sunglae (2019) High thermoelectric power factor in SnSe2 thin film grown on Al2O3 substrate.
