A polycrystalline sample of Na 2+ x Ga 2+ x Sn 4– x with x = 0.19 has low thermal conductivities of 0.56 and 0.58 W m −1 K −1 due to static and dynamic positional disorder of Na atoms in the crystal structure and dimensionless figures of merit ( ZT values) values of 0.98 and 1.28 at 295 and 340 K, respectively. The performance is comparable to those of commercial Bi 2 Te 3 ‐based materials.
