Thermoelectric (TE) materials can convert heat into electricity directly and show great significance on energy saving and carbon emission. Metal chalcogenides as an important type of thermoelectric materials possess high figure of merit and low cost, and their recent advances are comprehensively reviewed in article number 1600498 by Zhen Li and co‐workers, with the hope of inspiring further thermoelectric enhancement.
