Abstract: Highlights: [•] Observed metastable second phase that increases in mass fraction with low pressure. [•] Improvement in electrical properties from presence of orthorhombic second phase. [•] Concurrent application of heat and pressure stabilizes metastable second phase. [•] Maximum power factor of 1.3mW/mK2 at 494K in SnTe0.75Se0.25. [•] Best ZT of 0.19 achieved for SnTe0.75Se0.25, 3 times higher than peak ZT of SnTe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
